Immortalise your favourite Briard in a personalised
cross stitch pattern.
The pattern is created from a photograph of your dog and generally
concentrates on the face and head to bring out your dog's unique
personality.
The process involves the use of a number of computer programs to
simplify the image, reduce the number of colours and convert it to a
cross stitch pattern. Finally, the pattern is manually reviewed and the
number of colours required is reduced further.
A typical pattern is 168 x 168 stitches which converts to a finished
piece about 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 cm) on 14 count cloth and requires
between 10-20 colours (coded for DMC Threads).
The patterns are delivered by email as a PDF file so there are no
delivery cost. You can then support your local craft store by purchasing
the cloth and thread through them or you may be able to use surplus
supplies from your previous projects.
The quality of the original photograph impacts directly on the final
cross stitch pattern so here are some tips for selecting a good photo.
1. Select a high resolution image. The bigger the image the better to
bring out the dog's features. This is especially true of pictures that
show the whole dog since the process will concentrate on the dog's face.
2. Try not to have anything in the picture such as branches or excessive
shadows 'cut' across the dog, especially the face and head.
3. Generally the simpler the background the better. Most of the
patterns will require the background to be removed in any case but the
easier the dog stands out from the background, the better the resulting
pattern.
4. It is difficult to get a good pattern with more than one dog in the
photo, especially if the dogs are different colours, ie, a black Briard
and a fawn Briard. It is best to assume that 1 dog = 1 pattern although
it may be possible to create one pattern for each dog and then combine
them at an addition cost (email
dct66@bigpond.com for details).
Patterns cost A$20.00 which includes a A$5.00 donation to the Rescue
Fund.
Payments can be made through direct bank deposit in Australian Dollars
(preferred) or via PayPal.
