Mosaic Rabbit to cross stitch

Sunday 28 March 2010

Another Sunday arrives quietly this week.  It’s colder outside and the football season has started for the boys.  Easter is just around the corner.

I took the photo of the little white rabbit this morning.  He is so cute and is actually a Easter present for my youngest son.  When you wind it up it moves backwards and forwards – very cute !

I have been experimenting this morning and created a mosaic rabbit to cross stitch from a painting I created earlier in the day.  It’s more an experiment but I liked the results and thought I would share it with you.  You could chose to stitch the entire design but it will take you quite some time as a cross stitch.  I should perhaps create the design as a needlepoint which might be easier.  Perhaps later this week if I have some time.

Here is the painting I created (electronically using an application called coral paint.  I used it with my new Bamboo Wacom drawing tablet).  It was alot of fun but I need to practise a little more.

I used the image to create the cross stitch chart and also applied a mosaic effect to the design which resulted in the chart below.  Sometimes charts don’t always translate exactly from a painting or drawing I create.  It depends on the complexity of the design and the colors involved.

Overall the effect is interesting but will take a long time to stitch.  It will be released shortly in the meantime enjoy your Sunday !
