Cross-stitching on cardstock. I remember doing that at kindergarten, but nowhere near as neatly as these unicorn and patterned bookmarks. :) Free pattern & how-to by Kim at Bugaboo City.

Cross-stitched Star Wars, Ghostbusters and more

By Richard Darell

However, if you really want the eyeballs of your audience glued to your creations, then the simplest thing you can do is to be original. Try a new way of doing things, and bend the edges of whatever your topic is about. That way, when your audience is checking your stuff out, there will be little to add more than for them to say “Awesome!” or possibly “Huh?” That’s how it goes with pretty much all forms of art. Everyone can’t or rather won’t like the stuff you create. Appreciate the ones who do, and take in the ones who don’t and be open to their critique.

Wee Little Stitches on Etsy is more than engaged in the odd and wonderful. Their way of showing off their creativity in a way that everyone can appreciate is to cross-stitch various movie personalities and legends and in a way, immortalize them in a pixel like manner. Some of the motifs involve Harry Potter, Star Wars, Ghostbusters and many more. The list is long, and the artwork is flawless.

You can purchase pretty much all of them for the geeky price of between $5-$10 a pop. It’s the perfect gift for your friends who are Star Wars fanatics. These will probably remain in their possession for as long as their breathing is intact. So whether you are a sci-fi fan or a wizard apprentice, just have a peek at these unusually awesome and well crafted pieces of cross-stitched imagery. They will have your creativity and inspiration revitalized in a second. Awesomeness comes in many forms, and this is one of them.
