I Stitched The Knife

I met a new yorker through last.fm a while ago and when he came to Miami to visit an aunt, we decided to go to a wild safari themed party and meet in person. He turned out to be a pretty awesome friend, today is his birthday and since he wore a crow mask that reminded me of The Knife that night we went out, I decided to make a stitched version of it and give it to him as a birthday present. He loves the band, I hope he likes my gift.

Stitched Origami Swan

This was my first encounter with stitching, I finished it a long time ago but finally put it up. I love the geometric look of origami shapes and decided to stitch an origami swan graphic on canvas, since the canvas fabric is thicker, it took a bigger needle and lots of pressing to get it done. I've had that colorful embroidery thread for years, I'm glad I used it all. =)

Ships are Sailing: Origami on canvas

I finally finished this project! Yay! I worked on it on my spare time and it feels it took forever. I made mistakes during the process and I had to start over a couple of times, I'm glad is done. I want to make an improved version with maybe origami swans? I'll share that in a couple of years ;)
