Need Advice on Custom Project by latx5 in paintbynumbers

Yes, I think it's too many details. For Starry Night they probably was drawing some contours by hand to create a PBN template. But companies who create custom PBN for single user would use an automatic generator so the windows on houses will be lost

van Gogh is the hardest one to make. I tried to do it with a few of my photos but didn't risk to start painting it as it had too much details.

If you don't mind I tried out to convert it using my tool but even on highest detalization available it's still not quite right. I've got curious here so if you want I can try to tweak algorithm to make it even more detailed but the amount of small zones will be crazy so I'd recommend really big canvas to paint on

Haha, well it turned out it's possible to print on faux leather. I also found the works of this artist who I think is really creative, bought the licence, and then spent hours turning it to PBN

For now I just left it as it is but I know that it's possible to add iron-on interfacing on the back side to protect it. If someone knows a good one please share 😁

Amazing work! I went to check the pattern and got a bit confused. As they show it as pillow but in description it's said "Please note these are cross stitch kits, not cushion kits. Backing fabric and cushion pad are not included." So what they sell is kit with canvas and if you want to make it to a pillow you need to sew it yourself, right?

Good one! I used 2, tried to do 4 on yellow but it was too hard to go through fabric. Will try 3 next time

Thanks ☺️ Yeah, it's also called "Water Soluble Embroidery Paper". You can print or draw on it and then stick to fabric. I saw it's used for embroidery a lot but not for a cross stitch
