I sublimate my rage… revisited

In january i finished a cross stitch based on a qoute I found at bitterstitch.com, but never felt completely happy with it. Now I’ve finished a new version of the same quote, and I like it so much better! I love the colour combination and this version feels much more balanced than the first one.

The finished size is about 35 x 40 cm and both the font and the edging comes from Antique pattern library.

    Tank you!

    I haven’t decided exactly what to do with it yet, but I think I’ll simply hang it on the wall in some way.

    I think I got the parts of it from one or a couple of the scanned books at http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org

    But I’m afraid I don’t remember which ones I found it in, I tried to find them again but to no success. :/

    Something about the combo of colours & font & intricate detail captures the quote perfectly – as though each stitch really has been fuelled by harnessed anger – well done

    Man, I really, really want to use this border for something, I\’m almost tempted to try and count it and re-create it just from these pictures!

    Ha, I found it! It’s on page 33 of this PDF:

    A. Crespel DAe. Le Filet Brodé. Lille, France, [c.1900]

    (You can do control + F and type in “Crespel” and easily find the file in the whole list.)
