Oshawott Keyring

Here is a Tapestry keyring I designed for my sister who wanted the Pokemon Oshawott, I had to design this one my self as I couldn't really find a sprite I could use, so as alway Here is the pattern I designed

I then stitch two of them and then sewed them together, Here is the finished key ring,

Piccolo Keyring Design

As I liked the Vegeta Design so much I thought I would make myself a Piccolo keyring, I I got stared in the design,

I stitched two of them so I could sew then together.

And here is the finished thing, I am really happy with the way theist turn out. I have also tried to makes it fairly strong so it should break anytime soon.

Vegeta Tapestry Keyring

Here is a little design I made, using a Vegeta Sprite I found of google Images. I changed it a bit and also did a normal form of Vegeta as well. I made this for my friend who is a fan of Dragon ball Z. I idea was to make a keyring with the normal version on one side and the Super Saiyan version one the other, Here are the patterns I used for each side,

I flipped one so that when I sew it up the shape would match on each side,  Here is the finished Keyring,

I made these using plastic canvas and cotton. There will be more designs in the next coming posts.

Dog Cross stitch design

I have been asked to do another cross stitch for a friend at work, so yet again I start with a drawing thats it shown below

Then using a light box I transferred the drawing to graph paper and then decided on the colours

Now I have the pattern, all I had to do is fine the right coloured cotton, me sure the aida and then stitch it, Below is the finished design,

I used a selection of full and half stitches to add depth to the drawing, I am really happy with the way this turned out,

Bulbasaur and Psyduck Cross stitch

For both my friends birthday I decided to make a cross stitched version of there Favourite Pokemon Bulbasaur and Psyduck. The first thing I had to do is draw the design on some graph paper like so:

From this I could do the actual cross stitch on Aida which took me about 3 days to make. I had to make sure I had all the right colours as well.

After I had done this I then framed it, I brought a frame and then painted it to match the picture. I decided to go for a green and blu which represents Grass and water to and to the Pokemon theme. 

Here is the finished thing.

Cross-stitch Postcards

As Part of the Degree show at Staffordshire University there is another show called Fringe that is happening along side it. Details can be seen here http://www.fringefest.org.uk.

For this all the Arts students have been given the chance to enter a post card design for the show. So I have decided to do some cross stitched post cards. I had a long think of what sort of thing I would like to do and finally settled on a backstitched image base off my power of 9 animation.

I did some designing and came up with this -

So this was the pattern I used to create my postcards. After many hours of stitching I finally finished and ended up with these,

I am really happy with them and cant wait to see them in the show.

More shadows.

Here a another test I did for the shadow for my Phaze animation sting. I think this test is a lot better. I used Toon Boom Harmony to do this and used different network modules to do the effects.

Logo Pattern
