Ronnie Jado is done
August 21, 2009 - A little bit of outlining, and Ronnie Jado is done! Click on his picture for a more detailed image.
Ronnie Jado the Butterfly

August 20, 2009 - I finished filling in all the purple of the flower. I wish there was a little more detail in the flower, to match the detail in the butterfly and cone. The shadow in the original picture didn’t quite turn out right in the cross-stitch. But all in all, Ronnie Jado looks pretty good!

August 9, 2009 - The cone is pretty much done and I’m on to purple…lots and lots of purple…

August 2, 2009 - The flower is starting to look like a flower (at first I thought it looked like orange cough syrup spilled underneath poor Ronnie Jado!).

July 19, 2009 - Ronnie Jado’s body is all done and now he’s getting his flower to sit on. He says it’s kinda strange having his back two legs suspended in mid-air while I work the left half of the flower.

July 18, 2009 - Ronnie Jado’s wings are almost complete. He’s looking forward to when I complete his body.

July 12, 2009 - The cool eyespots are in…doesn’t Ronnie Jado look cool? (The name is derived from the Spanish word for orange, “anaranjado”. I couldn’t spend this many hours working on something and not give it a name!!)

July 4, 2009 - Rich says this is “beyond potential”. I love seeing the detail in the wings develop!
Ronnie Jado progress
June 28, 2009 - More of the wing is done, including some of the first orange patches. There are so many colors in this design, and it takes a long time to stitch, but it’s totally worth it. :)
Introducing Ronnie Jado
June 26, 2009 - My current cross-stitch is a design I generated from one of my photographs. I took the picture of the Painted Lady at Callaway Gardens when we were there for our 5th anniversary. Here’s the original picture… This is the preview that my cross-stitch program gave me for this design.
