Amazingly Detailed Star Wars Cross Stitch

Check. This. Out:

Star Wars Cross Stitch

This is an impressive piece of work. I’m always amazed by the time and care taken over large projects –  probably because I have only the patience to stitch emoticons and Space Invaders. This amazingly detailed work depicting Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker really shows that hard work pays off.

Check out the original post on Tumblr. The creater of this piece made the pattern themselves using www.picturecraftwork.com, uploading an image they found online. I’d love to know how many differrent colours of thread were needed!

Pikachu Cross Stitch Necklace

Take a look at these cross stitch necklaces made by starrley which are featured on her Stitching blog, Stitching Shop. From the artist herself:

“This is a handmade, by me, Pikachu cross stitched necklace. It is on an 18″ black velvet cord. It is stitched on plastic canvas, so it is very durable. The back is covered in soft felt. Pikachu measures 2″ tall, from top of the ear to bottom of the head.
Cute, fun, and awesome! Take your adorable Pokemon everywhere you go.
Interested in having a different Pokemon on a necklace? Send me a message and we’ll make it happen.”

Captain Kirk Cross Stitch – Flickr Friday

Captain Kirk Cross Stitch I know, I know, it’s supposed to be Flickr Thursday, but Flickr Friday just sounds so much smoother doesn’t it? Anyway, this week’s Flickr pick is this totally awesome James T Kirk cross by Flickr-er leemaccrochet.

She says it took a little over a month and is over 17,000 stitches! Amazing!

Wheaton’s Law Cross Stitch

wil wheaton cross stitch
When it comes to actors there is one fine young man whom my BF and I share a great passion for- Wil Wheaton, however I’d like to point out for entirely different reasons! So when I stumbled across this amazing cross-stitch, by geeky-licious Craftster Menolly07, I couldn’t help but smile.

With Christmas just a few weeks away a Wheaton inspired gift could be the way forward but if cross stitch sends a shiver down your spine here is another project you might enjoy.

Crafty lady Futuregirl made an amazing miniature Wheaton clown sweater and has generously supplied full construction details. Alternatively you can buy a man-size version from stupidnfunnytshirtgifts.com

Not only have they stitched up this meme-tastic “Why not Zoidberg” cushion, but they’ve also shared the cross stitch chart, so we can all have geeky soft furnishings of our own …  whoopwhoopwhoop!!
