And since it's only a small part every two weeks (which doesn't really take very long) it's not a proper WIP...
Not really...
Is anyone buying this?
I finished two things so I deserve a reward?
Whatever justification I come up with, the reality is that I've started it. I have dismal luck with ongoing SALs. I lose interest at around the halfway point and then wait for about six months after the end to finish. Maybe I'll have better luck this time.
Initially this was going to be a white owl on a dark background (Hedwig!) However this requires that I have a piece of dark fabric of suitable size that is not earmarked for some other project.
Second option: try to make it look like a sketch, so greys on white.
The Great Escape
28ct white Jubilee
Part 1 is the Montenegrin stitch in DMC 317. It's incredibly dense and kinda odd, but still easy. It's much more interesting very close up than afar.

Oooh, owls are sure the in thing now! I really love this piece! The purples drew me in. I wish I had that fabby now! I don't think I could stitch it on any other fabric colour now that I saw this one! I like your idea of doing it in grays, like a sketch, but Hedwig would be super cool!!
Very cool! You definitely deserve the new start after all. Should be fun!
Great start!
well seeing as it is a wol we will let ya ..lol good luck with keeping up ;0 love mouse xxxx
What a cool piece! I wasn't aware of this group at all. Maybe I'll join in the fun!
Oh what a cool SAL !!! I just sent in my application to the group, who could resist such a cute owl :)
I am TOTALLY loving this WIP!
Just joined the Stitching specialists Yahoo Group. Now, need to get brave and start on the thee ans the escape.
Looking very good! Love the sketch idea, although Hedwig is definitely cool too! Good luck with the project and with keeping your interest on it!
I was in 2 minds over starting this as I'd not seen the purple version, it's Purpleberry Spludge by Sparklies and I love it! Now it's yet another must-stitch.
I can't get on with Yahoo though, give me Yuku any day!
Like your colour scheme too, I might try a dark blue...
ROFLMAO!!! Well... great job on the new start and YES, you deserve a new start after 2 finishes.... heck, YEAH!! :D
Love your start! I also love that you have picked your colors, lol. It will be finished by the time I figure out what colors to stitch this with.
I'll be following your progress on this one!!
