Day 57- Cross-stitch, Woo-hoo!

I'm a crafty type gal. In both senses of the word. I scheme and I craft. Today, I was dragged to a place I didn't want to go to to see people I had no desire to see. So, I brought a craft to work on, my cross-stitch. If you don't know, cross-stitching is making tiny, multicoloured 'x's on a piece of cloth with embroidery floss to make a picture. Since Christmas, I've been working on my biggest yet. It's the alphabet of rock n roll! A miniature image of a member of a band (or solo artist) whose name corresponds with a letter of the alphabet. I found this idea on Pinterest, but some artists I'm less familiar with, so I replaced them with other ones.
Today, I finished the hair on the guy from Metallica, finished Kurt Cobain, and started on Ozzy Osbourne. I've done all the people from A-O, excluding K, because the pattern put Gene Simmons as the member, and I found an alternate pattern for Paul Stanley online, and I haven't gotten around to printing it off yet.
My problem with this pattern is that the colour they used for light blond hair is so similar to the skin colour. I almost left off the Metallica Guy's goatee because I couldn't see it. (Looking it up, Metallica guy might be Kirk Hammet, but I am unsure)
