Art Deco Bugs Bunny WBH9
Edited by anniekins at 2013-6-17 13:27Hi everyone, this is my first project posted here. I have enjoyed looking through what others have done or are working on!
Kit: WBH9 Art Deco Bugs Bunny by Designer Stitches (Limited Edition, discontinued)
Fabric: 16ct Cream Aida
Threads: DMC
Stitch Count: 151 x 218
Began: 11th Dec 2009
This is my latest work in progress that Ive been eyeing up for a while now. I hope it could look quite good framed in my (one day) home theatre room.
It hasnt been totally straightforward. The kit being quite old had aida which was so badly creased that I just bought new aida to use instead. My kit also has a misprinted chart, missing some symbols in squares where there are definitely stitches. Thankfully I could figure out the missing stitches from the kit cover photo.
Even using the larger side bars for my frame there is still not quite enough stitching area (only by about 10 rows top and bottom) so I will have to roll it up and down which I obviously prefer not to. Will do the very top and bottom last to minimise the stitch squashing if I can.
Dec 15th: This is the first photo I have:
Dec 20th: Ive got some of the more "interesting" part done of Bugs in the middle but will leave the huge amount of backstitch to the very end. Next will be the (half stitched) background...
Dec 24th: Background half stitches complete, "just" the huge border and backstitching left...
Dec 31st: Nearly finished the black part of the border, silver thread fill is next then backstitching...
Jan 13th. Yay, finished! Was slow going to finish between getting the flu and struggling with the DMC metallic threads until the Thread Heaven arrived anyways. And soooo much backstitch. Still, delighted with the end result...
A close up for fun
Офигенский получился thank you for sharing thank you for sharing beautifully made Amazing work i love this bugs bunny keep up the good job! :) I love Bugs Bunny. I made this one to.
You already made a great progress. Enjoy stitching. What a great job ! Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Ive added the latest progress pictures above. Im not quite sure about how to do the back stitch yet. Normally the kits I have backstitch is done over as many stitches as it takes to do a straight line. However this has such long straight lines particularly around the border I think it would be more sensible to do it over a certain number of stitches instead? Wow, this is absolutely amazing!! Awesome work! Hello, I bought this one some time ago to do for my young son, i had to go and buy the thread seperately and whilst doing so lost the key so although i have all the colours i dont know which should be which on the actual map. If you could send me the key or upload a picture of it so that i know which symbol represents which colour that would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Andy. Excellent work,the hal stitches in the background look fantastic. Hello, I bought this one some time ago to do for my young son, i had to go and buy the thread seperately and whilst doing so lost the key so although i have all the colours i dont know which should be ...

Here you go Andy. Sorry I dont have a scanner so had to take a digital photo instead. Note there are a few symbols which are very similar, like the horizontal dashes (3033 & 844), the vertical dashes (415 & 3799) and the plus signs (647 & 451/453). In all these cases the slightly thicker one is the latter option, and you can usually figure it out by looking at where you are on the design. It is poor chart design using such similar symbols though.
