Monkie and Paddys B-Day to Tec
 

This is the culmination of Six months works by Amonkie, and a perfect Matting/Framing job by PaddyJoe.....by far the best Birthday present I got.

You Guys Rock

thats absolutely beautiful and I know from experience that paddyjoe does awesome framework!!!!

Is that cross-stitch? I've done some in the past, and knowing how hard that was I'm incredibly impressed! :) What a wonderful gift for you tecoyah. :)

I am still in Awe of the work that went into this...seriously, incredible friends.

thats cool. Feel the love!

Wow! Beautiful job, monk and joe. :thumbsup:

I'm having a "whoa... no truly fitting words come to mind" moment. That is amazing.

Beautiful. The horses coming up out of the water.....I remember that from some movie... or book.... ahh crap. Someone help me out here. I know I've seen that before.

Anyway, just beautiful! Was it stitching? or was this a painting/coloring of some kind?

Looks like the cover of Bob Seger's "Against the Wind"

edit: I forgot to add how wonderful a job you both did. It looks fantastic.

I heard about this when Monkie was in Toronto... good to see it!

The Horses are a counted cross stitch on blue Aida 18 count fabric. It was first in this thread:

The Last Unicorn

Holy crap. That is amazing. You're a lucky guy Tec :)

I finally remembered what I was thinking of!

It was actually in The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.

When Arwen is wisking Frodo away on horseback and the Ringwraiths attack them at the river. She does something and the river surges and a giant wave comes thundering down the river and seen in it is the image of stampeding horses made of water. Very cool effect. It's what the picture reminded me of. Just took me a moment to place the visual.

Well actually in the book Arwen wasn't there at all... :lol:

That's a brilliant piece of work, well done to the creators and enjoy to tec. :)

well happy (belated) birthday, tec!

what a very impressive & cool gift!!!
