Accessories Sold Separately
As promised, I come bearing geekiness as gleaned from Mr X Stitch at the Stitch and Craft show…
I am, frankly amazed (and a little appalled) at myself for never having come across Lord Libidan before. His work is amazing – generally centered around video games, and packed full of original, interesting ideas.
The Transformers, sewn onto plastic canvas, actually transform. Oh yes. There’s Jetfire & Optimus Prime (as seen here) who of course become a plane and a truck respectively – and also a couple of tapes; Ratbat & Laserbeak, which will fit into the soon-to-come Soundwave/tapedesk. I love that they are based on the original toys, not the new versions – tres retro chic. And (this is the best bit) all of the patterns are all available from his Etsy Shop. Huzzah!
This Pokemon image is stitched stereoscopically – so if you put on red & blue 3D glasses (great fashion choice, btw) it pops out at you. Excuse me while I cry at the awesomeness.
This manbroiderer may not really be a lord, but I agree with him; he should be.
A quick update – Since I wrote my post this morning, Lord Libidan has added his Soundwave design to his Etsy Shop and blog – it’s well worth heading over to check out.
By any chance can I get the two Transformer plastic canvas patterns. I have a son- in-law that collects Transformer and I would love to try and make these for him. Please and thank you.
