My return to sprites and other such geekery!

Post by HelloCloe »

Hey Guys!

I realised a few days ago that it's been forever since I've posted here, although I've lurked a few times to see what's going on.
I figured I'd do a little post about what I've been working on over the last year, and show you some photos of the projects I've completed. Some are geeky/spritey and others are personal interest projects or gifts. :D
Let me know what you think ^_^

These are fantastic :) I love the first abstract one and the horses, and your blackwork pincushion, and the butterfly hoop, and the companion cube.

Would you happen to have patterns you are willing to share for any of them?

Welcome back! :D

Love everything here, all great work. Are those Dala horses from Cross Stitcher magazine? I remember them having something like it a few issues back!

Everything is amazing! I particularly like the abstract design. Is it your own pattern or from a kit?

Wow! What a collection! That batman project looks amazing (I'd have wanted to keep it for myself too :D ) and I love your biscornu pincushion - it's just so neat and clean looking. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!
Current projects: 'Heroes' sketch, experiments with surface embroidery.

Thank you so much! It was my first attempt at blackwork and I'm dying to have another go! The old mac computer that FunkyMonkey is doing has inspired me!

Thank you! :P The pattern for the abstract is from an amazing book I found on Amazon.
Here's a link:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Marias-Needlewo ... k+notebook

It's an amazing book, but it's only downfall is that whilst it give you the colour numbers, it doesn't provide a key on the pattern! :)

Thank you! Yeah, they're from Cross Stitcher. :) Such an awesome pattern and worth every hour! ^_^

Sure! ^_^ The horses are from crossstitcher magazine, issue 268. The black work is also from crossstitcher, it's meant to be a sampler but I decided to cut it up and make it into a biscornu. It was a sample from a book that'd just come out on blackwork. :Blackwork - Made in france.

The butterfly hoop is from The world of cross stitching issue 201! ^_^
The companion cube was a perler pattern I found on pinterest:

Hope that's okay! ^_^
