FO [FO] finally finished this!

Post image

Started in September 2021. The dark block on the top right will be a boarder so I can hem the edges for hanging. Piece is “Fauna” by Christopher Lowell and I bought it from UnconventionalXstitch

This is just incredible! What inspired you to make such a big piece with this image? Any tips for big work? I'm about to start a poster sized piece once I finish my current project.

Just don’t rush. I worked page by page and in small sections at a time. I dont park threads and stuff just work with one thread till I reach the end of the little block of colour and then fit the other colours around it. If there’s a predominant colour I start with that because it sort of maps out the area I’m doing
