I have no real idea how Beer Ghost managed to make himself a moustache
as ghosts don't grow hair but I'm not going to ask either - some things
one doesn't need to know and any way... he might want MY beer! He's
looking in astonishment at the beer he was given in a pub as it's bigger
than he is. He's also wondering why, when he ordered a pilsner, he got a
bitter instead but, as he never wastes a beer when he sees one, that's a
problem he can think over while he has this one.
As I mentioned in previous posts the embroidery of the beer did not turn out as expected as in the
pattern creator it showed as a pilsner type beer but it ended up a lot
darker and looks more like a bitter now. The difference in colour is
probably because I mostly still have and use pre-1995 DMC. This is of
significance because that's around the time they had to change how they
dyed the threads due to new European laws and many colours are no longer
exactly the same as they were.
All in all I'm happy with the end result even though it's not what I
expected. I'm actually surprised it only took me a few days to make this.
The embroidery is 4 5/8" wide and 3 3/4" high / 11,75 cm wide x 9,5 cm high
Number of stitches: 2319
Fabric used: 18 ct / 7 squares per cm Aida
Date started: 19th November
Date completed: 25th November
There are 90 colours of DMC used in the embroidery in total - 88 in the glass of beer and 18 in the beer ghost
I first started this blog due to "popular demand" for me to to share my cooking and quilting results in blog form as it was easier for friends and people who know me to see what I'm up to, especially compared to just an image hosting site. Now I blog because I enjoy sharing what I do and hope that I do in some way inspire people to try new things out as well.
