phase 1the foundation stitches
phase 2starting to cross my stitches
phase 3shaping and more filling
phase 4 shading
phase 5adding the details
backstitch backstich backstitch!
phase 6hmmm not very happy with the lettering
i redid the letteringin an ideal world i would've used a perle cotton
but i didn't have any to hand
i think this is flower thread
i'm happier with it now.
yay!it's really finished this time
i'm really pleased with the shading on the panelsi used three shades of blue and then also blended strands to get the shading right.
this is pretty much the true blue of my tardisi find it quite hard to photograph blues.
my Tardis inspirationall in all i'm really happy with how this came out
if i was being really picky i'd say the fact the windows/panels are square not rectangular is bugging me but to keep the other proportions right they had to be this way.
i think i need to take a cross stitch break now!
my eyes are tired and my hands are tired
but i am so pleased with this!
*******
*EDIT*
i thought it was all over

Absolutely fabulous! Max would love it on his wall. (I'll obviously stick to the David Tennant one!)
You're mad! Just a tad. Are your eyes wonky yet? :D
That is really wonderful.

Foarte interesant subiectul postat de tine. M-am uitat pe blogul tau si imi place si am sa mai revin sa-l vizitez. O zi buna
What count did you use?
this is absolutely amazing >.<
Love your work and your tardis! can you tell me where the pattern is from please, i'd love to do this for a nephew.
Some good tutorials too thanks
thank-you Anonymous!!! - but i can't contact you if you are anonymous!!!
i made up the pattern myself and as it's a copyrighted image i cannot share :0( but i'm sure you could draft a pattern easily enough yourself ;o)
I love it! As an avid cross stitcher myself, I know you worked hard on this. I've never really had any talent at designing my own. You did a great job!
WHERE did you get the inspiration.... I need one for my dollhouse collectionn of minatures!!!
This is amazing! I think I may draft my own version (inspiration credited to you, obviously!). Great job, it's gorgeous!
This is amazing! My boyfriend is a huge Dr.Who fan!
In one of the pictured of the finished product, there is graph paper in the background, maybe with an outline on them? I was wondering if it was possible to post or send the outline for the project? Pretty please! I was trying to figure it out from the pictures but there are so many colours my mind was boggled!
Jenners - thanks for the compliment on my work :) sorry i cannot share my design as the TARDIS is a BBC copyrighted design and they get quite sniffy about these things!
I love it! Would you be willing to sell your pattern to another fan??
