Practicing on my family - Sfumato stitchouts of my parents and my daughter. I've decided that the secret lies in the choice of photograph.

You got it into perfection. I enhanced some old worn out photos from spanish war time and you can only go so far before you take away the photo. There is a lot involved working in pictures.

Beautiful and good neat work. I like your daughter's picture. You have the patience. I have sfumato I have to try. Is it difficult? Are you doing it manually?

Sfumato is mostly automatic - success is dependent on the picture.

The most important thing seems to avoid shadows.

Hi Sue, these look amazing, i have try playing with it..
But i find too many thread colour changes.. then when I try to
bring these down I lose the beauty of the design lol,
I guess trial and error
Big hug from London
