Tyler Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hello All! I am looking at dabbeling a little bit into some 'creative art' [done so in cross-stitch]... I present as my first try a classic, P-38 in a bank to show its beauty. The final size will be 18"x14". The second pic is a 'grid' layout, with the final result having a 10x10 for each square. I am open to any and all criticism whether positive or negative (constructive of course!) Be specific, or open ended... Also wondering about the text - font -layout. Thanks everyone!

GreyGhost Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I think the layout looks great ... My only little concern is the right wingtip, it's very close to the edge ... Can that be adjusted ? I have a Cross-Stitched F-14 Tomcat on my wall done by an Aunt ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeilF92 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Looks like a good idea . I agree with Gregg that the finished article would benefit from having a bit of space around the a/c and not cropped tight to the extremities . I'll be interested to see how you get on with this one . Picking the right colours will require some care? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyler Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 My only little concern is the right wingtip, it's very close to the edge ... Can that be adjusted ? Gregg Good catch! There should be enough space near the edges on the finished product. It can be added / removed by the amount of matt added with a frame. I'll be interested to see how you get on with this one . Picking the right colours will require some care? I cheated a bit... I have a program that will convert near any picture into the appropriate pattern, size, and pre-set colours. For this one, I chose to use a 25-colour set... so there is a far bit of shading to help 'blend the edges' Thanks for your input! I will try to post pictures as I go... but this will take weeks!

It can be added / removed by the amount of matt added with a frame.the idea of cross stitch is you work out your own space round your supplied pattern ( it is a perfectly workable pattern ) I cheated a bit...

I will try to post pictures as I go... but this will take weeks! it is a nice workable design i did cross stitch as i was confined to bed after nearly breaking my kneck in a car accident ( making models and painting would have been messy !! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
