Not sure if he'll be a Christmas ornament or get legs or how I'll finish him, but... Adorable! Haha.

The Angels Have the Phonebox!


Quote from yet another fantastic episode of Doctor Who, Blink.

Next time I decide blackwork looks amazing and I need to have a go, remind me that lots of little lines are annoying, and that performing this act of blackwork embroidery on 28 count evenweave is a bad idea, please :)

But isn't it coool?


I love blackwork embroidery.


And how much does it look like some awesome foreignly written caligraphy from the back?


Still have to iron it and frame it, but Ive spent such a long time working on it, and I'm fairly proud of it, so it just couldn't wait :)

Bear #4




I finished bear 4! I think he's pretty damn cute. Gorgeously soft and a beautiful colour.
I also tried out some acrylic clear eyes instead of plain black ones (not enough contrast with body colour). Hand painted (with nail polish - three coats of pale sparkly blue, one of silver-grey) to give him gorgeous baby blues.




Love his eyes.
