Gimme Summer Love

Okay, I know the lyrics are Gimme Some Lovin', but I just can't pass up a good play on words!

This past week I have been working on Faerie Summer Love, and making good progress; here she was a week ago:                                                                                                                          

And here she is as of last night:


The wings are done except for the Kreinik, so I should be able to finish them up today. My guys have just left for the weekend; I went and bought some DVDs yesterday, and I intend to burrow down into my craft room this weekend and stitch until I can't stitch anymore! I might even be able to finish FSL by Sunday night, though no promises. ;)

Hope everyone has a great stitchy weekend!

    Would you be willing to share the conversion you did for the face? I am stitching this as well and would love to do the face you did!!!

      On my working copy, I just played around with a pencil until I got something half-way decent, then I also played around a bit as I stitched it. I don't really know how to share it, except that I could take a really close-up picture and email it to you, if you think that would help. If you do, send me an email at rrowe @ new.rr.com (remove the spaces), and I'll try to get a good picture for you.

    And I forgot to ask what is that gorgeous fabric you are stitching it on?

      It's called Shimmering Meadow Twilight, on opal Belfast, from Sugar Maple Fabrics (which, sadly, is no longer in business).

    Beautiful fabric choice and colour conversion! Changing her face so her lips match the dress is a really great touch :) I think she looks incredibly chic, like a supermodel, instead of snotty! LOL
