兵馬俑搖頭娃娃 - 針繡畫布

The 18 mesh count is perfect for capturing all the tiny details in the soldier’s face and armor—it’s going to take a while, but the hand-painted canvas makes every stitch feel worthwhile. I’ve already cleared off a shelf spot for this little guy once he’s done.

The hand-painted shading on the armor plates is way more detailed than I expected for a canvas this small, and it makes the stitching almost foolproof. I'm about halfway through and already planning a second one for my bookshelf.

I've never stitched 18 mesh before and was worried it'd be too fine for my eyes, but the holes are actually easy to find and the canvas holds its shape nicely. The painted colors are so crisp I'm using them as a guide instead of second-guessing every stitch.
