I, too, was thinking with portals. This was a quick project I did on a quiet night at work.

I have this project I owe LinkIsMyHomeboy that would be perfect for this.

Been away from cross-stitching for nearly 2 months. I needed a break. But I'm back to stitching again, and got me first entry for this challenge. Jason Voorhees mask with a knife jammed through one of the eyes. I've been wanting to stitch this for several years now but also wanted to time it for the right date, on a Friday the 13th (which I kept missing the past couple years). Okay, so I still got it done a little bit early, on the 8th, but close enough. Anyway, also works out as an inanimate object as well so that was perfect.

Miss Clawful, I always love your image-on-black style, and impeccable shading! Nice job.

That looks great Miss Clawful! I'm a day or two away from finishing mine. Can't wait to share it.

That Jason mask is AWESOME!!! Congrats on submitting it on the right day too!!

Well, after working on it for a while today I finished much faster then I thought I would. When I saw BM's description of possible ideas of inanimate objects of blocks to dead bodies I Instantly thought of dead video game characters. I thought of Final Fantasy, and if they were all dead it would have to be " The Final Fantasy !"

This is what I came up with.

Thats cool natepopinski!!

All you guys stitch so neatly! Makes my work look like Ive been stitching my work with a few fingers missing!

Another WIP, sorry if they are boring anyone. I just get so excited when it starts coming together. The egg shaped paper mache was a lot more work than I thought it would be! But now I just need to get some wires and do a bit of detailing =) Not a perfect replica, but I like doing things my way.

Ok here's my entry. The original idea refused to pattern out so I went in a different direction and did this by eye without a pattern. Please ignore the rumpled texture under the piece as I had to prop it up next to window when sun rose to get enough light for it to photograph semi-correctly. Idk why my flash rebelled and wanted to turn everything sepia tone.
