I’ve never really been a writer (though my brain seems to want to push me in that direction), but I have always been an artist. Theater aside, my art usually takes the form of cross stitch, which is something I’ve been doing since I was ten and I’ve been designing my own patterns for close to 15 years now. I have nieces and nephews, so I end up stitching a lot of their favorite things onto shirts for them, so they can have something unique. I’ve made a few for myself too. And I feel like sharing some of them, so here they are!
This is a favorite, both of mine and my oldest nephew’s. His favorite scene in any movie is the trash compactor scene in New Hope, which he called the “garbage monster”. I sketched a picture on graph paper and made a design from there. He’s growing out of this shirt now, though, and he wants another.
More after the cut!
