Review on Benway Counted Cross Stitch Van 🎨 Gogh Starry Night Painting - 14 Count, 18.5''x14.57'' by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fun challenge but disappointed that the colors don't match reality.

I really wanted to do cross stitches. The Starry Night has held a special place in my heart since I learned about it in my 1st grade drawing class! I finally had time to start this project during quarantine this spring. The template is complex, but that's one of the reasons I chose it. I wanted to challenge myself beyond entry-level models. It was a great learning experience and I got to try/practice some new techniques. And now for the cons. I'm only half done with part of the drawing, but it's already obvious that the colors do NOT match the original image/painting. LOTS of light green where there should be more yellow and cream. I'm considering leaving this project because I'm pretty sure I won't like the end results.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Frustrating pattern not meant for humans?

Nice fabric, flimsy pattern
