More WIP Updates

Well, it's almost weekend so it's time for the lastest stitchy news!

Seeing as I finished the piece I featured last week, I thought I'd update on a piece I featured two months ago -- the Visitor Logo from 80's SCI-FI series 'V'  Now that I have the border done, I can dispense with the chart I'd been following.  Quite a time consuming process filling in all that red, but it's one of those projects that you can do when you're feeling too lazy to follow a chart!

Blackwork fills can be very time consuming to stitch!

It's starting to look like what it should now, and I'm going to try and get it finished as soon as I can.

The next WIP for me to feature is more of a series than individual designs -- blackwork Pokemon.

I'm having so much fun with blackwork and your comments regarding my recent blackwork Chikorita certainly tell me that you like it.  I am doing Totodile and Cyndaquil, but these are on hold at the moment as I can't afford to buy the materials I need to stitch them. 

As I've mentioned to people on deviantART, I'm not giving the patterns away for these but I do have some smaller Pokemon patterns that I will be putting up on the website -- eventually!!  That's if I'm happy with the patterns I've chosen.

As I also mentioned on deviantART, I'm not featuring starters to give other Pokemon a chance to shine and along with the ones I've chosen myself, I've really had some odd requests, as well as one to do a sampler featuring Eevee and all her evolutions!!!

This is a project that could occupy my time for a while, but here's the full list:

• Articuno
• Mewtwo
• Vileplume [requested]
• Lugia
• Sentret [requested]
• Umbreon [requested]
• Entei
• Flygon
• Rayquazaa
• Amoonguss
• Braivery

Here's a little treat of what I'm working on at the moment:

Articuno - worked on 28-HPI evenweave with DMC colour variations shade #4240

Mewtwo -- is far too tough for floral patterns!!!

My RSN Blackwork book -- a great source of inspiration!!!

Right, so I've rambled on far too long and it's time to go have a shower and freshen up! 

Friday afternoon is stitch and bitch at mumsie's but seeing as my brother bought her a Wii for Mother's day, I don't reckon we'll get much stitching done today! ^___^

Till next time ... Keep Kalm and Cross-stitch! xx
