Finally finished!

WOW! I finally managed to finish the picture of my own design swimming polar bear. Next project is already in my mind. I will keep on working with the polar bear theme. This time it will be much smaller and about a lonely baby polar bear. Can't wait to start!

The work includes lot of metallic in the fabric and the thread. Unfortunately the glitter can not be seen in this picture. In the work there's two similar shades with basic stranded cotton and the metallic thread side by side. I must confess I had to wait for months over the darkest season to get my sun back to be able to stitch proper and make the difference between the threads, fabric and shades. It was challenging even to me and asked a lot of patience because at the most difficult part I stitched only 20 cross stitch in an hour!
