8 pages are done!!

I've completed 55% of the design. You can see all her face now...I think she looks great! (if you don't mind me saying so). I don't think I'll have to do any backstitch on her face, since it stands out from the background just fine.
This pages went by very fast, because the face is mainly one solid block of color. So that was great.
The only thing that I don't enjoy when stitching this piece is when I reach the last few columns of the right. It takes so much time to complete that small section because of all the color changes. But all that hard work is so worth it once it's finished. All those shades just add so much to the whole design.
