MythBusters Embroideries

MythBusters embroidery“I reject your reality and substitute my own!”

I just spotted CraftyOctober’s amazing MythBusters embroideries on Craftster, which were made as part of an embroidery diptych swap.

It’s the details of these seemingly simple pieces that amaze me: the metallic thread on the glasses and the careful attention to the texture of the hair. Especially Jamie’s gloriously bushy beard, which was made using a technique called turkey work.

Cryptid Valentines!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

SpookyPooky at Craftster has given us all a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift: printable Cryptid Valentines! She’s letting everyone use the designs for free too: “It is hard to find unique Valentine cards that nobody else is giving out already!” These are the greatest Valentine’s card ever! You have four choices: the Yeti, Bigfoot, Nessie (my fav), or Cthulhu.

These are SpookyPooky‘s designs, which she has shown off before. She has a yeti contest going on at her blog, which also has a bigger, easier to print version of the valentines.

Craftster artist vampyreragdolls is from Portugal and makes these incredible vampyre rag dolls! They come in all shapes and sizes and you can browse through more pictures on their blog. I love the little coffin boxes that they are packed in. Do these classic type Vampires get anyone else in the Valentines Day spirit?
