70 - Just Nan Frightful

Stitched on 28count lilac Britney evenweave using the recommended DMC.

I used Sullivans black as I had a free sample.  I will not be using this thread again!

To get dense coverage I used three techniques for the black:

in the straight line borders I stitched using 2 strands then did one long straight stitch underneath the crosses,

for the motifs I used three strands,

for the spiders and the ghosts' faces I used smyrna crosses as charted.

The ghostie charm and the lovely variegated thread for the leviathon stitches were both included with the chart.

The frame is a cheap raw wood box framed coloured using a black marker pen.
