I am in the middle of working on this exact angel. She is GORGEOUS!!! With this particular designer, they end up looking like paintings, until you get up close.
But I have never seen cross stitch that really looked painted from not too far away. You gotta get RIGHTONTOP of these to tell they are stitched. if you haven't worked with this designer before, they can be......a bit difficult. But WELL worth the effort!
I forgot- with this designer, you can mark up the pattern (cross out what you've already stitched) and when you are done, send it back, and they will replace-pattern only-with a brand new pattern. No pic. They USED to do that, may wanna check for sure if they still do. (Lavendar and Lace)
