How I met your mother season 8 episode 11 has a bit of dialogue that resonates with me VERY DEEPLY
Ted: …then why’d you mention the Sphinx? Prof: (laughs) I find my mind is often with the Sphinx.

Disturbing presence / Presencia Inquietante (1959)
https://www.remediosvaro.art/paintings/presencia-inquietante


#SurrealistArt #Surrealism #Surrealismo #RemediosVaro
Disturbing presence / Presencia Inquietante (1959) by Remedios Varo (1908 - 1963) A feminine figure sits on a high-backed upholstered chair. Her hands rest on a table, fingers peeling back the veneer. From within the table, white branching tendrils grow up tree-like, and spill to the floor root-like. They wind and branch across the floor and out through doorways. There is a large rip in the fabric of the chair's back. Fleur-de-lys patterns shoot off the upholstery around it. From within the hole, a masculine face leers forward. His tongue is out, as though to lick the female figure's neck. She casts her eyes sideways, not looking round far enough to see him, but somehow aware of his presence.

A picture of a cross stitch design in a pink frame on a pink background, surrounded by pink and red flowers. The design features two cats lying down in a loaf position, with a heart around them. The text ‘you are the loaf of my life’ sits below the kitties.

Different kind of WIP this monday. It kinda gives away most of the pattern. But it was just too cute to not share. 😘
Midna loves curling up next to me while I stitch! It's a great motivator!
Do you have a stitchy helper?

Photo of a cross stitch bookmark with three hands on it: on the left, a skeletal hand holding a sewing needle; on the right, the same hand, but with muscles and tendons visible; and in the center, a full, skin-and-flesh hand holds a needle aloft. The bookmark is on navy fabric with a fringe on each end, and is photographed held by both a human hand and a skeletal one.

Starting off with a post I can pin to my profile.
Here are some of my favorite cross stitch patterns I've designed. Y'know, to give you an idea of what kinda designs to expect from my profile in the future. 🙂

Basically, expect both nerdy and pop culture designs as well as some fun original ones!
Two brightly colored cross stitch designs stretched on canvas. Flowers of Hyrule, featuring 12 zelda-inspired flowers, and Mushrooms of Hyrule, featuring 12 zelda-inspired mushrooms. Three fruit-themed cross stitch biscornu used as pin cushions. A Lemon Lime, a Strawberry Kiwi, and a Wildberry design featuring Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, and Strawberries. Three square cross stitch designs on stretched canvas, featuring designs inspire by board game covers. Specifically the games Calico, Wingspan, and Azul. A set of 5 pastel cross stitch ornaments all featuring a similar color palette. Varying designs, including a summery christmas design with a driftwood tree, a stack of books with an open journal for writing in. A cauldron full of flowers, a pumpkin wearing a witch hat hanging out with a catlike ghost, and a cornucopia design.
