I have over 20 tented designs I am willing to share with the group. I would have more but I work on many other things besides cross stitch. The lighting sucks on the picture here major time because I used a camera that kind of sucks. I am waiting for the batteries to come in the mail for my better camera and may update this pic. I could play around with this image in paintshop but my computer is running slow over a really big download lol. And you can see some slight orange discoloration and that is because she did not get washed yet. So here is the series of my tent designs. more to come..... :) Oh I forgot to add that her eyelashes are backstitched. even that was a pain lol. but tenting goes very fast because you only cross 1 leg to tent instead of 2 when cross stitching. I do use more floss but I would rather spend more money on floss than spend 2 years doing a chart. This design took me about 7 days and I spent about maybe an hour on it each day, not even that. I will keep tab of how long it takes to do them from now on but it goes pretty fast. And you can stock up on floss when joann's has a sale. For those that are afraid to tent, grab a small chart like this and see if you like it.

i have read on here that some women need examples of tented designs. I have over 20 tented designs I am willing to share with the group. I would have more but I work on many other things besides cross stitch. The lighting sucks on the picture here major time because I used a camera that kind of sucks. I am waiting for the batteries to come in the mail for my better camera and may update this pic. I could play around with this image in paintshop but my computer is running slow over a really big download lol. And you can see some slight orange discoloration and that is because she did not get washed yet. So here is the series of my tent designs. more to come..... :)

Oh I forgot to add that her eyelashes are backstitched. even that was a pain lol. but tenting goes very fast because you only cross 1 leg to tent instead of 2 when cross stitching. I do use more floss but I would rather spend more money on floss than spend 2 years doing a chart. This design took me about 7 days and I spent about maybe an hour on it each day, not even that. I will keep tab of how long it takes to do them from now on but it goes pretty fast. And you can stock up on floss when joann's has a sale. For those that are afraid to tent, grab a small chart like this and see if you like it.
