Stitch and Tell #1 - Twiggy Cross Stitch

I'm starting to get my crafty mojo back (hurrah) so will  have lots of projects/ ideas to share soon. Here's a design I cross-stitched a while ago which I'm really proud of. Hopefully it's recognisable as the beautiful and iconic Twiggy...

To get the design right I ran a picture of Twiggy through a cross stitch design programme and then spent a loooong time playing around with it until I was happy. Here's a close up of the eyes...I was really pleased with how they turned out...

I'm hoping to try a few more iconic faces in a similar style, so more to follow soon hopefully ;-)
