Why is everyone's fucking birthday in December?? My sister, my grandparents, my friend Liz... I guess I should make them cards. Also here are a few Xmas gifts I have completed. I sadly did not get a picture of my sister's card, somehow...
For Liz. This is the first time that I have made a card with embroidery. It's pretty easy. The bird is from the Sublime Stitching Embroidered Effects book.
For my Granny- The pattern is also from the Sublime Stitching Embroidered Effects book:
For my Grandad who likes to build things. I found this illustration on Natalie Dee's blog- www.nataliedee.com:
For my dad who loves John Deere tractors (his bday was in November, but I won't see him until Christmas). I did a random search for tractor embroidery and found this one:
And here is some embroidery on cloth!
This is for my friend Stephanie. I did a portrait of her in the style of the Red Velvet Art girls:
This is on an apron I did for my friend Brandi who is one of those people who rides her bike everywhere. I think it's cute, and I wish I could do that here. It's also from a Red Velvet Art pattern.
Here is an apron I did for my friend Liz, who likes tattoos and baking. I found the pattern a while back while doing a search for embroidery patterns:
Here's one for my friend Chris, who is Liz's boyfriend. He's also my tattoo artist. He likes random weird stuff put together, like a unicorn swearing to a pegasus about Europe. The unicorn and pegasus is a Badbird pattern, and I found the funny quote on Stephanie Tillman's Flickr page, but I preferred these guys to the ants in the original pattern.
That's all for now. More to come!
