2026 Photo #3

Finally got around to framing my black cat cross stitch.  The photo does show the tiny beads sewn on some of the diamonds (not shown the rude words used when attaching beads!).  I was very pleased with the result.

Gorgeous! Well done. Very suitable for framing, as they say!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much! I was very pleased with how good it turned out once I'd put it in the frame.

That is so charming! And that beadwork looks terrifyingly fiddly, I am deeply impressed. Did you lose any beads in the process?

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. The beadwork was fiddly, and some of the beads had small holes than others. It's highly likely I did lose some beads, but fortunately the pack contained more than the minimum!

What a refined looking kitty!

[smallhobbit]

Very much so - the black cats I know are all much less smart 😃

The cat looks darling, and I can imagine what a job it was to sew on the beads.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I was delighted when I saw how much the frame brought out the cat. The beads required a fair amount of determination to finish 😅
