A wee bit of holiday cross stitch fun over the holidays.  Found in my stash; the red-on-white was fully worked; the partridge part of the “in a pear tree” kit had been completed before being abandoned.  So I worked up all the kits.  Now, provided I get them framed sometime in the next 11 months, I’m ready for December 2016.

A little process shot: These delicate tattoos don’t all happen at once, they’re built up with black and grey to establish the tones and depth of the piece - then the color is laid on top in a separate session.  This was done in two sessions, about 10 hours total - I love seeing the healed black and grey juxtaposed with the fresh color, knowing they will all settle into each other beautifully when the healing is all said and done.

Finished thigh of Towhee Buntings in a blackberry bramble - based on the original illustration from Audubon’s Birds of America, just with a little more depth and saturation.  Done at Butterfat Studios in Chicago, IL. More on my instagram, y’all.
