just finished my latest #painting. I know I've been quiet lately, but I've been working hard learning how to draw people and it's paying off big time. I'm super excited to be able to draw people and make #crossstitch designs with characters in them!

Do you all like to hear the story behind cross stitch patterns? I try to have a narrative in all my patterns, but I don't know if anyone actually cares about it. #crossstitch

New #crossstitch pattern idea? 👀 @badstitch.bsky.social I got inspired by your medusa pattern. The sketch isn't finished but I think it has enough to convey the idea. Maybe I can make this my first blackwork pattern! #fiberarts #sketch #medusa

#crossstitch people, I have an awful habit of never finishing anything I start stitching. Since I'm mostly stitching my own patterns, I don't have the pressure of having spent money on a pattern 😅 #fiberarts #pointdecroix

#crossstitch people, would you be interested in a free little pattern once a month or so? I like doing fanart patterns, but I can't sell them. Are there any IPs you would like a design from? #stitchsky

Have I shown off my #embroidery here? This is one of my favorites. #Frostfang, an axe from Guild Wars 2. #guildwars2 #threadpainting #stitchsky

A brightly lit photo of an embroidery surrounded by a few plants. The subject is a blue icy axe, the blade of which is a dragons face.

A close up of an in progress embroidery. The subject is a dragon face made of blue tones, though most of the visible area has pen and pencil marks denoting where further thread will be placed.

For my #crossstitch people, this is one of my favorite designs I've made. I've titled it "final resting place". This painting was my way of processing losing part of myself due to health issues. It felt like I was losing a dear friend. Get it at tampaintscrossstitch.etsy.com/listing/1678...
