This is close in size to my current cross stitch project. But it is from a book and is counted cross stitch. I've never made a cartoon to fill in. So I have an adult coloring book with amazing detailed and exotic dragonflies on exotic backgrounds, looks very stained glass. You inspired me to do a series of them. Today I ordered a light box. I have hundreds of skeins that are brighter than my normal projects, so I have been contemplating a bright project. Stained glass... who doesn't love it! So I'll have a bunch of 8x10s. My big project is a 100 shades of tan with a touch of pine.
I am a deep autumn, my wardrobe is deep autumn, my house is deep autumn. I even have a bitty zen refuge in the back yard, all in 5 acres of zen forest. It is why I have so many skeins of multicolor. So much cheaper to buy 450 every color packages of skeins, about 5 cents each. Still I have about 1000 skeins of colors at this time.
I enjoy your channel.
Your choice to keep the stitches used limited is definitely the right choice. I agree the smoothness of your embroidery stitches accentuates the stained glass quality of your work. They are gorgeous.
Illustrator now has a quick action tool to turn an image into vectors! I'm sure it will come in handy. I love seeing your art
I watched the 12 hours in 7 minutes video of you outlining this and after 12 hours of screen time and the havoc it wrecks on your eyes and energy/excitement level (usually gun hoe in the beginning and rushing through exhausted and over it towards the end the fact that you only missed 2 lines and not more (from what I could see) is my quite amazing. Well, I'm off to see if you finished your second chapter here as it's been 8 mos since this videos been uploaded. Really love your channel as I'm getting into sewing and embroidery work as well. Plus, your personality is right up my alley so I've been enjoying your videos. I've been hoping around to different videos of yours and can't wait to see what's next. Take care. 🙃
Aw thank you so much for watching! I hope your own sewing and embroidery adventures are off to a great start! (And I'll let you in on a little secret: next chapter of the giant embroidery pattern is coming up soon!)
one of my favourite stained glass scenes is the scene where the enchantress reveals herself and the prince (Adam) is begging on his knees
Can't wait to see how this goes. It's a beautiful design.
I started a 25"×17 xstitch in November...almost 2/3 done. The time will pass quickly!
It always does! Best of luck on your big piece!
Satin stitch embroidery looks like such a daunting idea. Facing a project that size with stitches that need to be so neatly placed freehand (uncounted like cross-stitch) feels terrifying.
Also, EXCELLENT work making that line work pattern! Amazing. Can't wait to watch the rest of these to see how this piece is turning out.
that is an insane project! good luck!
just would like to say if you like these 2d-style-stained-glass-window you will probably like some of cartoon saloon movies ^^
Oo that's a great tip!
oh my god, you absolute madman. I'm really looking forward to the updates on this.
Hahaha thank you for following along!
Your thoughts on illustrator are mine about photoshop. I started with illustrator and can’t be bothered to learn ps yet 😂
I recently started my journey on embroidery and I must say that you inspire me to keep at it! Your videos are super helpful and enjoyable to watch :) Also your dog is so stinking cute! Looking forward to watching you take this ginormous (and beautiful) project on.
Thank you so much! Best of luck on your own embroidery journey and definitely keep at it - it's a very satisfying and relaxing art to grow in!
was just thinking about shading while you were talking about satin stitch and the sun. have you ever tried starting with all 6 strands of one color, then 5 of that color and then 1 of the next, then 4 and 2 etc to solid of the second color? then do the same with the next shade? I wonder how that would work out. sort of like colored pencils or Comic marker coloring.
So excited to see how this part of your project goes. My guess is 120 hours for the outlines (sorry!)
Haha it's looking like you might be closer than I was...
For the prints you could have done several art boards on Illustrator and put the image on top, but whatever works for you haha
love love love love from KSA !
I am in absolute awe of the project! Can you talk some more about how you got the print into photoshop for those of us who might want to give this a try?
Thanks! I searched through google images for a long time for the best/highest quality version of the stained glass window, and I ended up with several to utilize and compare, so that's definitely a good option. However, what I actually "traced" over in Photoshop was a picture I took of my laptop screen while playing the movie! I made sure I was holding my phone really squarely lined up with the screen so there would be as little warping as possible, and that picture ended up being the best representation of the window I could find!
AWESOME !!! This looks so exciting 🤩Have you thought may be using couching instead of split ? 😘Thanks for sharing 🥰
That's an interesting idea that I hadn't considered... I might have to do a few tests of some different stitches and see which one looks best surrounded by the satin stitch on the rest of the piece. Thanks!
I also try to guess how long I’ll do over a project, right now I’ve got a list of cross stitch that should last me almost two years, and I’m hoping to do your beauty and the beast piece sometime in the future too but I’ll need to practice satin-stitch first :p
It's a fun game to play with yourself! I love having a long ass project to keep me going for years.
I do not need another craft... I do not need another craft... darn it, I need another craft lol. I have too many crafts and projects as it is, sigh
How do you keep the line art from moving on the backside of the piece of fabric while you're tracing it? Do you pin it in place? tape?
I tape it down!
How you make your frame ??... have you something to your kanal or some information to make something like that..?... i think you make this very beautiful...😀😘thank you a lot for the inspitation 😘
You're so welcome! I made a whole video about the frame-making process, so you can check that out here: czcams.com/video/LB9qHk05HNA/video.html
Just curious if there could be a copyright issue with this?
Nope, not at all!
Any chance you'd be open to selling this pattern and color/stitch guide?
Sorry, won't be selling this one - there wouldn't be enough demand for the amount of work I'd have to put in. If you DM me on IG though, I will send you the PDF of the outline pattern for free!
@@gettheetothestitchery thank you!!! Did you end up using a different fabric for it, or go with the same as the larger final dancing stained glass one and then stabilize the back (or both!)? This looks amazing!
@@aiskelly I used the same stuff - cotton twill, I believe? And then yes, ironed interfacing onto the back!
I swear, we were meant to be best friends.
Why would you use Illustrator? ...you're not doing text. Photoshop is the correct tool. Don't worry about that.
why are you being so rude? theres definitely a much nicer way you could have said this
I don't know what you think that tool is but this is from the website if we're all talking about Adobe: Adobe Illustrator is a professional vector-based design and drawing program
