Happy International Eames Appreciation Day!
[Image ID: two photos of a cross stitch hoop. The first photo is taken from directly above; the second photo is a closeup taken from an angle. Both photos depict a casino poker chip that has been cross stitched in orange, red, and yellow thread. The text on the poker chip reads "100 Shillings Mombassa District Casino". /.End ID]
To celebrate our 2nd annual International Eames Appreciation Day, I decided to cross stitch his totem.
It was my first time designing a pattern this large, and my first time using stitch software. I really should've allowed myself more time for a full coverage piece, as I just finished it today! I based the design on an image I found online, and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. It's a bit garish, but then again, so is our favorite forger!
The finished piece is 14 count aida in a six inch embroidery hoop. The orange thread is DMC 900, the red is DMC 816, and the yellow is a random leftover I had in my thread box *shrug*
(Edit: Now with a companion piece for Arthur's totem)
Hope you all have a happy International Eames Appreciation Day! And don’t forget to dream a little bigger, my darlings 😘
