Disappointment abounds
Well, I got brave and messaged Daniel Kordek on DeviantArt about the lack of a Prince Charming sketch to match the Hook, Huntsman, Mad Hatter and Pinocchio. It just kills me that there isn't a Charming because he is my absolute favorite (with Hook pulling a close second). His answer was that he didn't like Snow and Charming so there is no Charming drawing (which is a bit ironic considering that the Regina portrait that Tilton Crafts has charted is a cutout of a picture with Regina and Snow).
Damn. Seriously, just damn. I guess I won't be stitching the others after all because there isn't a complete set. I'm either going to have to chart my own picture of Charming (preferably one with Hook and Charming or maybe Snow and Charming) or hope that someone somewhere lends their Charming artwork to be charted for stitching. I mean, come on...how can anyone not like this?
I did find a neat wallpaper that might work:
And I've always thought this would make a good stitch:
Or even this one:(photos courtesy of Google Images)
Anyone up on copyright issues? How does it work to make a chart from an imagine you find on the web when you don't know who the artist is? As long as I don't sell the pattern, would there be an issue? I'm really desperate to do a Once stitch that isn't simplified animated characters and since there is really nothing out there, I feel so screwed right now. Maybe I'll just keep searching Deviant Art for the perfect combination of all my favorite characters and ask the artist if I can chart their artwork. Now that Snow and Charming and Emma are gone from Once, I want the classic cast in my stitch. But then again, I do have an overabundance of both stash and WIPS, so maybe it's a silly dream anyway.

You can run the picture through a program like Pic2Pat and make a chart for your personal use, as long as you don't sell the chart or finished artwork.
However you need a really high resolution version of the artwork to make it work. Which you can usually only get from the artist.
If Tiff's friend was going to chart a picture for you s/he could not accept anything in exchange. It's a lot of work for someone to do for free!
Carla and Pinky talked about it on Carla's FlossTube video recently.

I have to admit that I'm a Rumbelle girl myself! But I'm also at least two series behind! I have a lot or Kordek's and am always hoping for more!
Great blog you have, by the way! :-) Happy Stitching.
