Progress on a trimmed version of Battle (art by Daniel Eskridge). Working through the sky section first — lots of sunrise/sunset tones. It’ll be a while before I reach the ship, but I’m really liking how the colors are looking so far.

Progress update on Dark Queen of the Earth by Autumn Lane Stitchery! I’ve just started Part 5, which is the section between the green/teal dress and the rosy petal dress section. Excited to see how the forest elements develop here. 🌿🧵

A little quiet over the holidays, but here’s my latest progress on The Grand Library by Heaven and Earth Designs. Slow stitching, steady progress, and very satisfying. I also have a big restock coming up and two new colors on the way — more soon.

A close-up of a cross-stitch project in progress. On the far left, an astronaut stands beside a stack of oversized books that are larger than the surrounding elements and slightly tipped. Near the top edge of the unstitched area, a woman rides a red, hover-bike-like vehicle. The colors are vivid blues, greens, and orange-red tones. The lower right side of the fabric remains unstitched.

Progress update on a fully beaded cross-stitch project: galvanized steel and metallic black beads on deep purple 28ct Logwood Lugana. The ornate “Blasphemy! Heresy!” lettering (inspired by Ghost) has been very satisfying.

Fabric: etsy.me/4b1GKgC
Pattern: bit.ly/4jf7RqL

#crossstitch #beadwork #wip
A cross-stitch project worked entirely in metallic beads. Ornate lettering in galvanized steel and a frame in black beads stands out against a very dark purple fabric. The text reads Blasphey! Heresy! and the Ghost (the band) symbol is worked into the bottom of the frame.
