Halfway point

I think I'm about half done with Wherefore Art Thou, which seems to be a bit larger than it first appeared. Most of the past week was spent filling in the balcony, and then last night I started with some of her purple cape:


Considering that the whole thing consists of little Xs, it's funny how much more I like working on Juliet than I do the background. The background, in this design especially, adds a lot to a design, but I just love working on pretty faces and dresses! But, there's quite a bit of balcony in the lower half, so I'll just have to soldier through it.

Hope those in the US have a happy Fourth of July, and to everyone a great stitchy week!

  5. It's because things are more interesting to stitch when they're not in the background :). She looks lovely :)

  6. She's beautiful! I think the shading on the background is really good and the urns look so realistic as a result. Hope this helps you enjoy the balcony a bit more!
