I can say from first-hand experience that our 🥄 (ish) looked even more gorgeous in person. The photos don't do it justice.

Biggest portrait I've ever done! Matt Skiba from The Alkaline Trio (and briefly in Blink-182). I couldn't stand the color red for a while after this lol. I believe the recipient turned it into a throw pillow.

I've also done a cross stitch portrait of Castiel from Supernatural. I got this pattern on etsy, the other portraits I've done I used an online pattern generator called pic2pat.

The Bruce Campbell one is the only one I still have. Because I happened to marry the recipient.

Cross stitch portraits are kind of my thing. Monochromatic color schemes really help keep the number of floss colors needed down.

I find it difficult to get a new social media and not show off the Bruce Campbell portrait I cross stitched for my husband years ago. Within a few weeks of gifting it we were officially a couple and living together (after a year of dating without realizing it). It was a labor of love. 100% string

Here's mine with some of the others I did! I do a bunch on one fabric then cut them apart to frame or turn into iron on patches. Yours looks great!
