Wow I've never seen a project like this before. I wasn't too sure if I liked it at first, but the background you did totally sealed the deal for me. It looks great!!

Does this mean I have 1 or 2 marks towards a pattern maker badge?

I'm not the biggest Pokemon fan, but I love this blackwork technique. It actually inspired me to go look up some information on blackwork for myself and I am in love with some of the patterns they have. Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me faewren! :D

i know i'm probably being pretty cheeky :P but is there a Charmander pattern to go with them? :grin:
Current Projects:
Link and Triforce Square = 56% complete.
Kanto Map = 60% complete.
Hetalia sprites for Xmas presents. Other projects will be put on hold until these are done. Shouldn't take long though. :3

Blessed Be

No prob Miss Kirby. The Library opened it up for me - only fair that I ought to share.
Charmander? I suppose I could do that.
You should look up Gatchastitch's work, she does blackstitch a fair bit better than I.http://gatchastitch.blogspot.com/2011/0 ... -done.html

I was just looking at Gatchastitch the other day on deviantArt, and was totally blown away by her work.
Current Project(s): How much time do you have? LOL

I know, isn't it totally awesome! I'm a novice comparatively. Gatchastitch really deserves to go on Sprite Stitch's blog.

Wow this is awesome! I've heard of blackwork but I never knew exactly how it was done. Personally I love the digital background with it :grin: . It gives is an awesome filled look without cross stitching an entire background and doesn't detract from Pikachu. Great work and I can't wait to see Charmander too.

Sorry it's taken me so long. I've been really sick with whatever Kindergarten virus my daughter brought home. I'm still sick but now I am semi-functional.

[The extension bmp has been deactivated and can no longer be displayed.]

Ta da! Charmander. This is slightly different than Squirtle or Pikachu - I focused on thread count this time, so there are some 1 thread stitches and 2 thread stitches. The black outline is all 2 threads.

Should I revamp Pikachu and Squirtle and put all three in the patterns section for easy access?
