The Eyes have it . . . . .

and they are scoping you out!
Here they are and I changed the inner mat yet again.
It does not show up in this picture
but it is a light grey with a blue core
so when it is cut in a bevel it is
blue.
I also changed the outer mat to a grey with fibers in it.
Gives it texture!
I am much happier with this one than I was with the last.
I haven't sent it to my brother yet, I'm bad,
but I will soon!!!
Tomorrow is freight day at HL and
I will try to find
the perfect box.
Must go to bed, thanks for stopping by and encouraging
me to stitch my best, I appreciate it.

The Tiger Eyes are Stalking you . . .

This is the one I rematted. I am glad I changed the mats because this blue was just too bright.
The eyes a really checking you out!
Lunch anyone?


This is the one she is getting. I am so disappointed in this picture!
In real life it looks so good cause the blue is not that bright.
It matches the tiger's eyes almost exactly!
Oh, well live and learn. Huh?
As always God Bless and Happy stitching!

The Eyes have it . . . . .

or do they? This is what not to do to a tiger! He gets really mad as my Grandson Gavin would say.
I worked on this piece at work and when I went to get my mat board someone had used it again. That is why I hid it. Got to find a better place next time!
So we found two pieces of mat I could use for the blue. I managed to screw both of them up. Then I thought this blue would look OK! When I took the picture I realized how WRONG I was. It overshadows the eyes, the focal point, and all you see is the blue. One of the girls in the shop said it look nice. I knew right then and there ~ IT DID NOT!!! So ~ change I will!!!
I ordered three more sheets, one of each color, and I will re cut the mats next Thursday. I will post the finished one when I get it done. His eyes are so striking that I don't want anything to take away from that effect.
Tell then keep stitching and God Bless ~

Tiger eyes are looking at you. . .

or so it seems. I have a twin brother who has been divorced for 21 years. He has not gotten involved with anyone much in all those years. He moved to Tulsa about 3 years ago and has fallen in love. Peggy, has never been married and she is finally committed to my brother. Long story short, they are getting married in Nov.
So . . . I stitched this white tiger eyes for her. I got ready to stretch it and discovered I had not stitched around one of the eyes. I did that today. I am going to mat it in a grey, blue, and black mat and frame it in a black frame about an 1' wide with O's around it. I am going to come down to the outline of the face top and bottom and in on the sides. When you look at it you will see the eyes looking back at you!!! His eyes are stitched with blending filament so they sparkle that light blue, very striking!
She loves wild animals so I know she will love him. I will take a picture of him when I am finished.
Take care and God Bless ~
