A project Thomas Kinkade Painter of Light

This is the start of my cross stitch of a beautiful Thomas Kinkade Painter of Light scene, it's out of the collection from Lamplight Bridge, this sewing project carefully uses light reflecting cottons and threads to give it a real life affect as you can see i have only done the bottom left hand corner. This is not an easy project as it has lots of french knots which i ready hate doing, my friend suggested ages ago to use coloured small beads instead, unfortunately i had already started this project but i will definately use the beads for the another project i am doing with faries.
