Cheetah made in Cross Stich - DIY embroidery craft

in cross-stitch •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hey Steemian Cross Stitchers,

today I want to show you a great cross stitch picture that I have made as a youngster.

I was around 15 years old when I made this cheetah. I was and I am still in love with African sceneries, crafts and arts. Cross Stitch was a huge passion in my childhood and teenager time. I used to make big pictures with very small crosses. It took me months, sometimes years, to finish these big needleworks. 

The cheetah was made on a dark olive green canvas. The finished crosses have a size of 1,5 mm / 0,06 inches. The canvas was even smaller. I used 4 squares (2 horizontal, 2 vertical) to make 1 cross. The total size of the picture is 31x15cm / 12,2x5,91 inches. 

Unfortunately, I cannot give you the chart, because of the copyright. Nevertheless, I hope you can enjoy the picture.
