Christmas wall handing. reindeer

here is part two of this wall hanging featuring these cute reindeer. 

the idea of using sequins instead of cross stitch in the second pic was mind and i think it adds a little bit of sparkle to the overall design.  same with the beads in the last picture. 

the pattern all suggested that the pictures were stitched on white Aida and then filled in with colored stitches, however i decided to try the 3 different color Aida's to give the same effect.

Below are a couple close up pictures of a cross stitch project i

 completed in 2010 and show it proudly on the wall every Christmas, it was my first attempt at turning cross stitch into something else rather than just placed in frames.  it was also one of the first projects that i complete to keep for myself.

Each square measures around 5 inch's square and took me around 4 days each to do [whilst studying] 

check back in a few days for the next part of this wall hanging!
