| WIP: 11/5/14. More than halfway done. |
I’m not sure which quality is the most responsible for me taking on this insanely huge piece. Probably a little of all three.
Spanish Eyes has turned into my "Epic Art Project" of 2014. This is my first X stitch design and only my second X stitch project. (The first being the RuStitch project with Aubrey Longley-Cook.) So clueless is probably the best explanation. Or the least unflattering.

The downside is that sometimes I feel less like an artist and more like a machine. But you have to put in the work to create anything, so it that’s how it goes.

| Overview of Spanish Eyes. |
Since I have a busy, corporate day job and a life full of people I care about, I haven’t had as much time to paint or sketch or play with new ideas. When I have time to focus on art, I sit patiently and stitch my eyes. Not that I don’t enjoy it. Not that it doesn’t excite me to do the work. It is just not so interesting to share with others.
So be it. Head down, keep working.
You have such a fabulous talent. I wouldn't even know where to begin on a project like this. And it's beautiful.
