Cross stitch style challenge: Canada Geese Edition! In which I try to mimic the styles of a few of my favorite cross-stitch artists. None of these quite capture the spark that the original artists’ works have (except maybe Pokemon goose, he’s definitely ready to fight), but I learned a lot from trying, and had a really good time. 

You should check out the original artists, they are all super talented & inspirational people and your lives will be better for having seen their art-- links & promo under the cut! 

The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery (Cute & fun patterns {they’ve done two celebrating the National Parks!} with millions of tiny details, full of sunshine and smiles)

Satsuma Street (Classy, modern, vibrant -- the artist, Jody Rice, has got to be a professional illustrator, everything she makes just has this crispness about it)

@parvumautomaton (Sassy birds, superheroes, and the galaxy’s most prolific Star Wars stitcher, possibly the most prolific of any stitcher??)

@redbeardesign​ (really good holiday/thematic hoops with tight, minimal color schemes and loads of sparkles and flourishes, also exceptional product photography)

@mathysphere​ (loves geese, squares, schmaltz)

Sprite Stitch (a very good cultural phenomenon, 10/10, did you know Pokemon invented pixel art)

@lpanne​ (impossibly intricate, impossibly tiny characters, alongside delicious food, wlw appreciation, and  ~*SCIENCE*~)
