Ain't That a Kick in the Head

Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy as Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham. This one was a doozy! This is my first time cross stitching something so big. Took a little under 2 years between work and life. But I finally finished and am so happy I didn’t give up, although there were times I wanted to. This is one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite episodes from one of my favorite shows!

Seidou Takizawa! My favorite character from Tokyo Ghoul. This one took a really long time to finish due to all the filling. It was great practice but I still have a lot of room for improvement. Unfortunately, with all needle crafts (knitting, crochet, cross stitch) my stitches get smaller and tighter over time. That is something I need to work on. With a space that large, I might fill with paint or marker next time.

However, I’m pretty happy with my Seidou.

Masahiro and Kousuke from Hitorijime My Hero. I learned a little too late that doubling up the fabric would be a good idea. Next time. Im still getting the hang of filling but I am pretty happy with the detail on Masahiro's jewelry.

Number 4. You Keika and Tanmoku Ki from Spiritpact. I just love these two so much! 😍

Embroidery number 3. Kento Nanami from Jujutsu Kaisen. I love this man!!!😍 The fabric was super easy to work with, nice and firm. I definitely noticed a big difference in how I stitched. Not too thrilled with how sheer it is though. I have seen many embroidery artists fill in their work with paints, pencils, crayons, etc and it looks so good! I thought I’d give it a try using watercolor pencils since I’m still very terrible at filling in space. Still have lots of room for improvement but I’m enjoying my embroidery journey.

Satoru Gojo cross stitch from Jujutsu Kaisen. Made this one a couple months ago. Love this style animation and it came out nice in cross stitch. Really want to make a Yuji and Megumi if I have time.

A super quick Anya Forger cross stitch.

Embroidery number 2. Yuuri and Victor from the anime Yuri!!! on Ice. This one was such a learning experience. I redid Yuuri’s hair and shirt a couple of times. Although I am not happy with it, I finally had to just leave it alone otherwise the fabric would have been destroyed. Just gotta keep practicing. And I have more Yuri scenes to stitch :)

Hyakkimaru! From the anime and manga Dororo and the remake manga The Legend of Dororo and Hyakkimaru. So obsessed with this series!!!

Marceline the vampire queen. Made this for my best gal.

Cross stitch of Yuuri Katsuki and Victor Nikiforov from my favorite anime Yuri!!! on Ice. I’m so happy with how they came out!

Baby Stag Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter in crochet form. I haven’t crocheted or knitted something in quite some time due to work so I thought I’d get back into it with some minimal Hannigram plushies. #hannibalnbc #hannigram #fannibal #willgraham #hanniballecter #crochet #crochetersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ChBTc6JJL8F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
