As I have begun on my next #crossstitch project, and the sheer scale has made me realise it may take a few months, I will instead look to my last finish - a small neat thrush bird! A small finish is nice between the larger ones. Pattern by Jane Greenoff "Wild Birds"
#crossstitch #needlework #bird
A completed cross stitch piece on aida is shown in the photo, a brown Thrush bird sits atop of a stump with its mouth open calling out. The stump has small bits of ivy and leaves hanging over it.

A whole selection of random assorted pixels I hadn't got to sharing! A large and wide variety, from memes to tropical themes, a trophy and a mini chalkboard. Each one has a story, but maybe it's best left as a mystery for you to guess
#pixel #pixelart
A square canvas with a light blue background, there are various different artworks put together as a collage. In the top left is Poe from the Star Wars meme saying "They fly now" with some flying Minecraft Squids flying over the frame. Top right show cases a dynamic and bordered check mark in white and red. Below this are various tropical themes, with two palm trees on a beach and three tropical drinks. At the bottom is a golden trophy, shaded in way to show a very shiny surface. To the right is a classic chalkboard, showing some math equations written on it.

I don't go here, but when a friend shows you a character design that you love and can immediately imagine them watching snow fall, sometimes they just have to be drawn.

A drawing of a Palico from the game Monster Hunter. They are wearing a green hood with a cream diamond pattern, their cat eyes are large in awe, watching some snowflakes fall. The background is a soft blue gradient with drawn snow and snowflakes dotted over it

This lovely lavender, horses and fields cross stitch design was commissioned by Sophie. I loved working on this so much, from the vibrant sunset and clouds, the details in the grass and getting all that lavender just right.
This design is on my Etsy for others to enjoy too!
#pixelart #crossstitch
A circular pixel art design is shown with detailed lavender in the foreground - two on the right and one on the left, with smaller fields below. It leads on to a large open grass field with three horses in bay, chestnut and white colours. Behind them is a wheat field with a few detailed trees before it leads to a sunset with strong wispy clouds, going from yellows to reds and to blues in the upper sky.

At some point this year, I also said it would be the year of completing craft projects - but it also turned into a year of trying so many different and new things. Enough to make it's own collage! Here's to next year! Happy new year (again!)

It's that time of the year again, meaning I get to share my yearly #summaryofart! It's been an interesting mix of a year, but I'm happy with what I've created! In here are even a few things I haven't yet shared out (but I'm so excited to share the full things)
Happy new year!

I’m so happy to finally share the completed versions of these #Christmas charms in all their glory! I love how these all turned out with felt backing too

Pattern is available on my Etsy (@Katuend) if you want to get some last minute stitches in - or maybe for next year!
#crossstitch #handmade

They are all bordered with white thread and with appropriate coloured felt backing, hanging with a red ribbon. They are pictured over a Christmas tree with a pine cone and silver tinsel shown in the background.

I made this needle felted landscape about 3 months ago - It's something I'd always wanted to try but never got to. In this year of "I will complete craft projects" I ticked another off the list! This came together really quickly, and I think I'll try more in the future!
#needlefelt #needlefelting
A wooden hoop is shown with a needle felted scene, with a three hills seen in the foreground in different greens, with small red, purple, pink and blue flowers seen along them. The furthest hill has little peaks of trees, with a rising yellow sun behind the hills. The sky is a gradient of blues and some wispy clouds have been felted on.

I went into this hoop with no plan & no pattern. I wanted to try ribbon embroidery for a long time and from there it turned into a hoop of experimentation. Some worked well, others not so much, but in the end I still had great fun, learnt a lot - and broke two needles in the process!
#embroidery
A large wooden hoop is shown with an earthy linen fabric. Embroidered into it is multiple ribbon styled flowers in a variety of colours - blues, purple, pink, red, yellow and mint, with embroidered stems and leaves between them, consisting of a large variety of stitches including woven wheel, long stitch, closed fly stitch, feather stitches, raised leaf stitch, chains and many more, with seed stitches, lazy daisies and french knots filling the space between the features.

It is the time of spooky, so here is my very own spooky carving! 🐈‍⬛🎃

I gotta say I'm so happy with how this turned out! I love trying to come up with a new unique design

#pumpkincarving #halloween
A pumpkin is shown, albeit it is very dark with a carving cut into it, lit up by some internal candles. A carving of a cat sitting on a metal fence is seen, their tail hands down and loops around itself to form a spiral, the fence has spikes on the three bars going up and a moon is cut out in the top corner.

A very specific set of console drawings (and a bonus "❓"), made for a custom matrix switcher. Any of these beloved to others? I will hold onto my classic PSOne dearly

Xbox Crystal, Xbox 360 Elite, Xbox One X, Wii, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Sega Saturn, Playstation 2, Playstation 3 (thin), Wii U, PSOne, Playstation 3 (phat), PS4 Pro, and a singular question mark illustration. The background is a gradient between mint and blue, with the credit "Katuend" seen in the corner.

Another resin flower from a workshop at The Crafty Coven (on FB)! I always love these and the results they create. Love just how unique each flower is 💐
#craft #resindip
A resin-dipped flower is shown in a photo. Individual petals have been shaped with wire into a curved shape and dipped in liquid resin, the petals are made of a sky blue resin, with a secondary dip to create a black outline of each petal. The photo shows two angles of the same flower on display

I completed these two embroideries! Some hanging plants and some flowers, gosh those thousand French knots were a whole challenge, but I love the look and texture of them so much. Enjoyed learning a few new stitches and my time on these!
#embroidery #craft
Two embroidery hoops are sat on a wooden table, they both hand black fabric. The left one features three styles of hanging plants, made of white and cream baskets, one made of hanging green plants made of many French knots, one with tall leaf stitch, and the third with hanging triangular leaves. The hoop is finished in a frameless style with a green ribbon above. On the right features some flowers with leaves protruding out from the flowers, one is white with French knot centres and three are dual blue colours with a pink butterfly above, it is finished in a blue flower patterned tape around a hoop with a blue ribbon above.

A Resin flower Chrysanthemum - A workshop help by The Crafty Coven (on FB) to create this lovely result. This was great fun to make and I especially love how it looks when it catches the sun!
#resindip #craft
A collage of three photos showing a handmade craft - Lots of individual petals made of gold wire dipped into a translucent orange resin with curled ends to represent a flowering Chrysanthemum flower. One of the photos is catching the sun and casting an orange glow on the hand holding the stem.

I found myself with some hours of waiting on various trains this week, armed with a set of "Mini Marker Set" of six colours, so I tried my hand at some flower #illustrations! Despite some wobbly lines due to train wobbles, I like how these turned out! The second one was a small gift with a message
Illustrations of various flowers and leaves, there are six colours: Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Green and Mint making up the designs. They are all flat and solid stylised. Some lavender is at the bottom and loose petals float between the flowers Illustrations of various flowers and leaves, there are six colours: Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Green and Mint making up the designs. They are all flat and solid stylised. Some ivy adorns the top and side, around a blurred message.

It's time for a new icon, say hello to this little bird with a mint wing and some fuzzy blue hair!
An illustration of a blue tit bird, the top of the wing is a pastel mint colour, and the top of their head is a fuzzy messy look. The background is soft mint colours with a lighter inner border.

Continuing the trend of the chaotic @rtgame.bsky.social mario kart streams, we have the ever needed locking-in for those times

I gotta say, I am proud of this ka-klunk of the lock 🔒

In the year of finishing my many craft projects, I revisited my blue tit in the form of needle felting, and made a second little bird friend. I'm proud of the progress and improvement in this one, and think this one is even cuter!

For the past few months, I have been creating an absolute avalanche of rolling sheep. Created for @rtgame.bsky.social, these have been such a wide variety of fun!

Which is your favourite? (I love the Fireworks and Galaxy ones)
