SEPT/OCT Challenge - Inanimate Objects!

[SofaraStarfyre]

Here is my entry. Pyper's entry inspired me to do magnets too, just different ones than she did

[MeiTow]

I love them!

Thank you! You can't really see my stitching too well in the pic itself, but I am rather proud of the one with the flute, since I used whole cross stitches to do the flute and then the green around it is done with half stitches and it looks pretty neat.

Done with latest inanimate object. This one is very similar to Remy's, though not inspired by it, but the dryer certainly confirmed to me that now was the time to stitch my toilet. So I present my third and final piece towards this challenge.

Deja Vu - Toilet





PATTERN:
98h x 70w pixels = 8"w x 10"h

Spoiler

note: This toilet scene is taken from the NES game Deja Vu. The location is from the women's restroom of Joe's Bar just moments into the beginning of the game. I thought to do this one back in April of 2013 when I had been looking for quotes to stitch from various NES games, finding ones that were memorable or funny, and this one certainly fit the bill. I thought, when finished with this one, if ever I decide to frame my work this one would be hung near the bathroom, a perfect spot for such an odd piece. So this is my very first quote cross-stitch of possibly many more in due time. I think a good choice to start with. Also entering this one into the Sprite Stitch Inanimate Objects Challenge (my third piece for it), even though a toilet has moving parts, it is currently out of order and nonworkable so it qualifies I thinks. Was originally going to satin stitch the toilet paper but when it came time I just didn't feel like dealing with it so stuck with cross-stitch all the way.

Oh, and here is where my pattern came from:

One of my favorite racing games for the NES is RC Pro Am. I have been wanting to do a project based on it for awhile and decided "Inanimate Objects Challenge" was as good a time as any! So I made a bunch of magnets. I Started off planning on only doing the trucks (because theyre my fav vehicle from the game) but ended up doing all the mini throphies you could win and some items.

I wanted to make each truck color from a different angle. I also HAD to do one after it was destroyed.

A quick little second entry. Again, not sure if I'm bending the rules a little too much for this so feel free to disqualify.

Whatever its admissibility, it's awesome!

[Miss Clawful]

Absolutely love the RC Pro-Am thingies! Cute, creative little collection. My favorite inanimate objects so far.
