It’s been three weeks since our last update and we have had multiple snow storms even blizzards in that time so boy did I get a lot done on my current project!
Here is where I left off last time which was my first post on this WIP:
And here is Jesus’s haunting face which is coming through beautifully:
It’s been an interesting experience working on this project. I had some trouble with knotting and misplaced stitches which led to some rip outs but once I started on His eyes is was like I was building him from bone structure to finally flesh. I should have taken a photo of that in-between process to show you.
I have never stitched a human face like this before.
Hopefully we won’t have any more blizzards for a while but I didn’t mind get stuck in the house stitching!

That really is excellent progress. In the past, I have worked on a monochrome portrait of my husband in shades of black and grey. It’s surprising how much a stitch out of place in the wrong colour shows up when the colour palette is so limited, but as your work demonstrates, it does produce spectacular results.

Great progress, and it looks so beautiful! I have a chart for a “greenscale” close-up of the Statue of Liberty’s face but always felt it would be too hard to do so many close-color stitch changes. This will be magnificent when you finish it!
