July 3, 2020October 16, 2023 Siri0Tagged Cross stitch, Tutorial

Throwback to this gorgeous piece based on @dragons Throwback to this gorgeous piece based on @dragonsandbeasties' Zen. I've got the little figure as well and he sits right on my desk keeping me company as I stitch.

This was great practice for converting digital art to cross stitch, I don't do it often enough. Most of my designs are very pixel art based. I should do some more traditional drawn designs sometime.

🎨 Pattern - Not available. This one was stitched for personal use only with permission several years ago. Since then @madebymishmoo has released some official licensed patterns from Becca's designs, so be sure to check them out!
