a Cross Stitch Artwork Took Her 4 Years
has gone viral after she shared her mom’s incredible cross stitch artwork that took 4 years to complete.
The amazing work is a cross stitch representation of an oil painting by John William Waterhouse entitled ‘The Soul of the Rose‘ (1908)
ve pretty severe anxiety along with bipolar (II) disorder. I taught myself how to crochet and it can usually soothe a lot of my anxiety and racing thoughts when I'm in a manic episode. And that feeling of accomplishment and success whenever I figure out a problem or mistake, even more so when I complete a piece, when I'm feeling like I'm a failure at everything else is awesome.
A few years ago I dedicated myself to a huge granny square blanket. I aimed for it to fit my queen size bed but it wanted it to hang over the sides a bit whereas most just fit across the top. It was 12 rows x 15 rows of 6 inch x 6 inch sunburst granny squares.
It took me off and on almost a year (the final push to get it done took me about a week of nonstop working on this thing) to finish, I used scrap yarn from other projects to make the sunbursts.
As much as I loved doing it and as proud as I was (still am) of the final product, I used to say I'd never do it again. Truth is, I'm getting the itch to do something just as big and time consuming. And just let me say, before i really started crocheting, I came across this crochet blanket on etsy this woman was selling for $600. I thought she was insane. But after having done one myself, I can see it. All the yarn you need (yarn can get really expensive!) the time and skill it takes to crochet something that big then plan it out and put it together... I see it.
