Stitching update : Water Lily #4

Sigh!!! Unable to complete the stitch as planned ie. before CNY. Not that i am slow or running out of time, it's because 1 of the color thread provided is not enough!!



My work, beautiful, ya? ;p
Notice which part is unfinished??
Is at the bottom, brown color "leaf".


This is the part, a small part, not really noticeable, rite? But of course still has to complete it. Will have to wait till after our CNY holiday, because i don't know where to buy the thread. I have been to a few shops in our neighbourhood selling stitching kits, they don't sell the color thread separately. Sigh.....I have to get it when i go back to Malaysia.

Work done with the Chinese character at the upper right....
Have spent quite sometime stitching the character.
Is the hardest part to stitch i think.
Partly because the character in the chart look odd to me and i decided to outlined it myself using pencil on the cloth.

Right: character in the chart.
Left: character i outlined and stitched.
Compared both, mine looks nicer, rite? ;D
