Unicorn Tapestry - various progress pics

Looking back over my blog, I realized I've never posted any progress pictures of Unicorn Tapestry by Tiny Modernist aside from the very first "hey I started this" picture.

So, let's see what I've got here. :)

For some reason, my camera has a lot of issues with picking up the correct colors on this one. The last picture is close to accurate, but the fabric is a bit more on the greenish side in real life.

There's still a LOT more to stitch on this one.

Might look like too much flowery confetti for some people, but the mess of scattered flowers is one of the main things I like about this pattern. :)

Solo Tua - finish!

Back from vacation and I have a finish! And this is finally a good picture showing the colors of the fabric and threads properly!

She's stitched mostly as charted, except I changed the backstitch color (I think it was grey, why do so many Mira/Nora charts have GREY backstitch for skin?!) and a few of the bead colors were subbed with something in my stash that was close enough.

Also, looking at her all completed like this, I think I know why I can't stop feeling like her back is to the viewer, even though it's supposed to be her front. It's her hair! When I look at her body and ignore her hair, I can clearly see her facing forward. As soon as my eyes see the way her hair spills over her shoulder, my brain flips around to seeing her as facing away.

I'm lazy so I probably won't actually do this, but I think I should redo her left shoulder (the one on the right in the picture) so the shoulder is in front with her hair behind.

Or maybe I can just move on with my life, haha.

Solo Tua - nearly there!

I've worked exclusively on Solo Tua since starting her on May 11 and I'm almost done! Unfortunately she will have to remain unfinished for a while, but for a nice reason - I'm going on vacation for three weeks and I'm only bringing a tiny travel project! :)

All the stitching is done and I've made a tiny start on the beading in her hair. Beading is my favorite part of projects, especially Mirabilia/NC patterns, so this will be a nice treat when I get back!

...Also, looking at this picture, I realize I can't tell if she's facing forward or if she has her back to the viewer. I always saw her as with her back to us, but with the way her face/chin and left armpit (her left, our right) are backstitched, I think she might be facing forward with her hair covering most of her face. That would explain the fabric ribbon thing going right across her body... if she's facing forward, it's covering her breasts.

Okay, now I really can't decide! What do you think, is this her front or her back???
