June Ornament - Tiki Stitches

Not quite the Witching Hour so there’s still a little time to submit my entry for the month.

 

The design is by Jenny Barton.  I switched out the black backstitch for some glow in the dark thread. I couldn’t get a picture but it looks pretty good in the dark.

Happy stitching.

June's Tomb

Prairie Schooler's Heads Up booklet

40-count Heritage linen

Gloriana India Ink silk floss (1 over 2)

Finished like all the others--they're a matched set!

(I'm going to cut that upper right corner off

to make it look less wonky.)

 

Katie's Finished June

I finished my Mummy with a Tomb haha. Do I get extra credit for doing both themes? haha. He was a fun stitch. He's from the 2010 Halloween JCS. I made some changes to make him more mine. I did him on white perforated paper. Love everyone's finishes. Thanks for giving me motivation to stay caught up so far.

Jo's June Finish

I have literally just finished stitching and had to share immediately, he's so cute!!

There is a series of Spooky Kitties designed by Carand88 on the Deviant Art site, they are inspired by original animations by Hyraea, also on Deviant Art.

There is no mummy though, so I just stitched the basic outline of one of the others, added some horizontal lines in elongated stitches (1 thread high by 2 threads wide) to make the bandages lines, then I used two different shades of cream to fill in and some brown for his face.  He's stitched on 28 count black Jobelan.

I'll be framing him in a four apeture frame with Ghostie Kitty, Witchy Kitty and maybe Zombie Kitty.  I'm planning on putting Mr and Mrs Frankenkitty together and also a double act of the Pumpkin and Candycorn Kitties.

July is Spiders and Bats, there is a lovely Spider's Web design in JCS which is really tempting me so that is top of the list, for now!

R.I.P. for June

I started and finished my June ornament over the weekend.  It was a very quick stitch.  I changed the border from cross stitch blocks to smyrna crosses.

My choice for next month is Bad Neighborhood by Ink Circles.

May Ghost and June Tombstone

Here's my May ghost,

outnumbered 3 to 1 by the jacks!

Katie's June Pick

I found this cute little guy in the 2010 JCS Halloween Issue. He really fits the theme for this month. I look forward to stitching him. I also look forward to seeing what everyone stitches this month. Good luck!
