I posted these on Reddit when I got them back from the framer, but never posted them here! (previous WIP thread)

These are 10ct Canvas 80cmx50cm, mounted without glass with a cool indent, so the white sits back on the backing board, so the colours can stand out.

Took about a year, but they are complete ^__^

They currently take pride of place in the entryway to the main floor at work (I really do need a better picture of there placement.)

Original artwork by Paul Robertson, with a little bit of colour manipulation for the DMC wool pallette by me.

I can't tell if it's cross stitch or needlepoint, could you clarify? :D

Awesome work, Paul Robinson is a boss and I think he would enjoy seeing these - you should email him if you haven't already. (and I second the blog vote).

Half-stitches. 10ct canvas with DMC wool leads to a nice filled square.

Full technical write up is here, if you want: http://glasnt.com/stitch/?cat=6

I did try and email him originally for blessing to reproduce his content, but never got a response. Not sure if I was using an old email or what.

Half-stitches = needlepoint to me lol. Thanks for the details, I love the finished products! Now I'm sad that I can't use wool because it makes me itch :(

supposedly he's responded to some of our other board member's requests. I think they contacted him through his Tumblr, but I'm not sure. Glad to hear you tried though.

ABSOLUTELY! I've been wanting to stitch these myself, especially the water one. It's so cool that you stitched all 3!!! :shock:
