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.

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!
