Awesome stitcher stitchFIGHT made this Shaun of the Dead cross stitch for the Embroidery Hoopla 2 swap over at Craftster. Her partner Javede is one lucky lady.
It’s absolutely perfect. The hands look amazing! It’s done on painted 18-count white aida, which is a fantastic idea. I may try that the next time I want to do a cross stitch on black (so I can see what I’m doing).
Hey, you’ve got a bit of red on you…just a little ink from the pen used to create this awesome pumpkin? Polkadotchas posted this amazing work of art on craftster. I only wish my Halloween pumpkins could look as cool as this Shaun of the Dead Pumpkin, and if I was this talented, I don’t think I could go wrong honoring both my love of zombie flicks and Simon Pegg.
f you’ve been on craftster, then you’ve probably seen Lani Spear around.Her recent She-ra poppet , which she designed for a private swap with Padfoot, is an excellent illustration of how she embodies the soul of Geek Craftiness.
A little search through her previous projects shows the extent of her geeky inspiration, she also created the uncanny Coraline, Coraline is so film-realistic she could be on a shelf in a store and wouldn’t look out of place.
I have my fingers and toes crossed that next time I’m in a crafster swap, I wind up with Lani as my partner, she’s an awesome geek crafter!
Check out her projects on Craftster for goodies like; her gorgeous son dressed as Shaun from Shaun of the Dead, Gir amigurumi (with tutorial), super cute Rocky Horror Eddie poppet, and an ADORABLE Sweeny Todd Poppet.
Go, look, enjoy, Kudos Lanikins.
