# About me

I can't draw that well, nor can I paint and my knownledge of photoshop is about as vast as a water puddle after a particularly light July rain. I find art easier to handle when I have a pattern to follow.

Enter cross stitches.

To my surprise I found embrodery very meditative and refreshing for the mind. Not being very interested in the red cottages, teddy bears and landscapes with old English castles and some roosters in the corner which otherwise overwhelms the market I decided that the whole marked needed an update. To me, at least. There was no reason to think of cross stitches as old fashioned and unfashionable. How could you make it fun? After all, what would I like to put on the wall?

The answer was given.


My work are all in cross stitches, and consists of between 36,000-46,000 stitches each. They measure about 30*40 cm and take between 130-180 working hours to complete, depending on the amount of colors used.

Well, I must say I was quite surprised myself... Perhaps it is something in the water, or perhaps it is a talent like wrinkles; something that deepens with age.

Ha ha! You know I was featured in Aftonbladet the other day? Funny, people messaged me on FB after that...

I'll make sure to put some up, although I have difficulties calling it art... It's more like bland copies of someone elses achievements. But I'll do my best. And congrats on the Daily deviation thing in april!

...Du vet att du kan påminna mig utan mellanhänder va?

Ja, jag är så seg på att välja mönster - När jag väl bestämmer mig för ett så glömmer jag att säga till dig, och när jag väl kommer ihåg det så har jag ändrat mig

Men jag ska sätta igång och kolla nu igen!

Anvidelu In reply to likdelar [2008-11-20 08:17:51 +0000 UTC]

Jag kan, men varje gång jag gör det så vet du ju inte vad du vill ha... Jag tänkte att det var lika bra att lägga ut lite fler krokar när jag ändå var igång.

Mitt senaste projekt är iaf detta (fast utan texten): [link]

Kollade förresten in dina alster, jag är imponerad! Alla är ju galet duktiga här, jag kommer aldrig våga lägga upp någonting eget.

Why, thank you!

How fantastic it is to join a community where people greet you welcome before you have even logged in once. And Veronica is a nice name too!
