After seeing Jayce's Sfumato design I thought I would show you one of the several Sfumato designs I've been working on. I have several in the works,this is one of my favorites. I slowly have been learning how to adjust the density of the designs, the biggest problem I have is all the jumps stitches. Not sure how to fix the problem yet. But since these are for me I don't care. Time consuming since I'm learning by trial and error :)

Learning by trial and error is actually a good way to learn. It takes longer, but you understand why things are done the way they are done better. I must say your design is one of the best ones I've seen. I can see where jump stitches would make you crazy, buy your efforts are well worth it!

The sfumato is very effective, and I love your design!

Is this your own drawing that you have created into this lovely design? I don't know what Sfumato is - can you explain it?
