Wow!

Did you do Galaxy with glow-in-the-dark BF, I hope?

Jim,

I'm impressed that your work has grown > Last evening I went over to my son's house, and we took pictures and

Outstanding, Jim! Did you also chart the Hurricane yourself? Galaxy is so impressive, my DH was amazed at the way it came out. He is big into the Hubble etc.

Happy New Year to you,

Gillian

I've been fiddling with my monitor settings in a mostly vain attempt so I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is really there ... Was West Wind done on a colo(u)red background or did you stitch the sky?

Everything is stitched; including the sky. HTH.

I suppose the answer is "Yes". I am always a little confused with what is meant by "charting". All I do is get a picture that I like, and look at the number of pixels it has. If these are small enough, I put it through Pattern Maker, at one pixel per stitch, and 90 colors, which takes all of 1 minute, and if the end result looks alright, I might just stitch it. If that is what "charting" is, then I do chart it. HTH.

No. I am afraid I did not even think of this. I know I am not good at substituting colors, so I just take what Pattern Maker tells me to.

Exactly what I meant!! I probably used the wring word " charting", but am glad you knew what I meant. The picture is quite fantastic!!

I am in such awe of people like you!!!!! I get hopelessly lost when I try to stitch a design that has more than 2 colors side by side but you work with 90 colors!!!!

I can almost feel the wind blowing!

It's funny how men are. My husband walks by this computer ten million times a day and never sees anything I'm looking at. I clicked on your website and he immediately said, cool sky, what is it? So, Mark thinks the galaxy is pretty cool. He recognized all the nudes and named them all, sans the vargas girl...but he did know she was a vargas.

Is it coming from the west?

lovely to see your latest Jim. I can not imagine stitching galaxy. ruby

More like a north wind - it's windy here.

Beautiful, Jim! I love the Galaxy...it's gorgeous!

take care, Linda

Very beautiful and unique new pieces Jim. I think Hurricane has to be my favorite :)

I particularly like the Galaxy one, Jim - it`s turned out REALLY effective!
