I stitched this SK for a friend of mine, along with the corresponding SK Courage. This took me from January 1, 2012, to March 18, 2012. The shading and subtlety is gorgeous on this piece. I kept thinking "this can't be right, it doesn't look right" but remembered there was a finished one on the finished gallery. So I perservered and finished the whole thing. Each time I finished a page, it suddenly looked right. This is a beautiful piece and I do reccomend it.
