How good is this.

My girlfriend made me this, starting last year and spent countless hours with it. It has 13,400 stitches, it's finally finished now and I'm going have it framed. It's lovely, going up in the sitting room too, she loves Liverpool and Jurgen.

That's a fucking belter.  Is that cross stitching ?

The women in my family are well into that, I might have to drop a few not so subtle hints.

[Butch]

Yes cross stitch. I wouldn't have the patience to do it. It's amazing.

That's ace mate. Rep due for your missus when my gun is reloaded. 

 

Our daughter drew this one freestyle when she was 13 and it's been hung on the wall in my room ever since. Photo taken on an angle to reduce window glare from opposite side to the picture.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can just sit down and do that.  I'm utterly fucking useless with my hands, no artistic ability at all and awful at DIY.  I haven't got a creative bone in my body so it makes me all the more appreciative of people's talents and the hard work they put in when I see something like that.

And I would have both of those beauties framed and showing on my wall too.

That's an amazing job. She's very artistic, very special when it's been done for you.

Yeah. So is your missus mate, deffo a keeper. People with artistic talent tend to be level headed and know what they want in life. A mate of mine visited me from Liverpool and offered me a decent sum of money for the picture, no way am I parting with it though, not even for a larger sum. Somethings are just not for sale, especially when they've been done from someone you love and the attention and time they took to create it. Our daughter is/was very artistic but unfortunately due to studying for her masters degree it has taken a back burner for the time being. I used to be very good myself but only when i have something to copy from (not tracing, just so I can look at it), drawing from memory or freestyle is not something I'm good at unless it is something simplistic.

It's excellent work. As for the club badge, I much prefer the simpler Liver bird with LFC underneath like we have on the kits. I think it should be the club's official badge.

Get on with the proposal you thick cunt

[Red Hot]

It's that good , if mine I would have it framed in a glass case. To try to preserve the materials and colours over time.

[suzy]

Great stuff Butch and PB!

I'm not 100% certain but the original post said it was getting framed. I would assume he didn't mean setting it up for a crime it didn't commit.

If I tried anything like that the Liver bird would look end up looking like a chicken with a joint in its mouth.

If you frame it get some UV film for the glass as that will stop the colours from fading.

You missed a trick, should have flogged him a photocopy on the sly.

It won't be near any natural light, it'll be placed on a wall and framed. Should be fine. Thanks for the tip.
