I am sure the minute I post this, someone is going to pipe up with some brilliant way of transfering the blackwork design from the painting to graph paper but I had nothing even remotley intelligent going on. I am a HORRID visual artist so transfering the pattern from the image to paper took about 10x's longer then it should have. After 1.5 hours of tedious line by line drawing, I finally have something I can work from to do the blackwork....
And looking at it again, I have drawn it too big..... ARG! If this whole project goes this way, it just might be the end of me. *goes to throw large things off tall things*
