Portal Project; Parts 2, 3 & 4 of 10

Part one was completed all the way back here:
We Do What We Must Because We Can

Tetris has my heart.

I love the look of black aida, but I didn't really like the finished look with this piece, it just didn't pop properly. Pattern is the same one for my previous tetris heart, which when I'm not half asleep and on my slow computer I might even link to -- but I enlarged each block to be 4 instead of 2, making it bigger.
I outlined everything and put some detail into each block using a shiny white thread, which was an absolute pain to back stitch, let me tell you. Totally best off using a shorter piece of thread than you usually might to stop it getting tangled.



A photo of the white shiny detailing.



And showing off my macro setting on my camera, an obscene close up!

Back to cross stitch!

I felt like cross stitching yesterday, so I made a Kirby :)


I'm making a background, and its awesome but I'm not showing it until its done, and I could postpone this post until it IS done, but I feel like posting now. :P


ETA: Updates! And finishing touches


A pretty white star bg... THAT GLOWS IN THE DARK!


Yes, it's a crappy picture, but its hard to get a good glowing photo at any time let alone in the middle of the day. :)
