Hero of Cosplay

Anyone want to guess what show I'm looking forward too?

This is a modification of my Cosplay pattern.  It gave me the opportunity to try out a different color on the lettering and I like it!

This is done on 11 ct Aida cloth.  I'm working through my stash before I head to the store for Aida cloth refills.  In the end, it's about an 8' x 8' with 8 colors used.

Still debating on whether I'll be selling this pattern or keeping it to myself.

Decisions, decisions.

Disney Heroine: Leia

One day, while traversing this crazy thing called the Internet, I stumbled upon a site called The Mary Sue.  It's a fun little guide to girl geek culture.  Then I saw this:

 A strange compulsion struck.  Next thing I know, my cross stitch program is open and I'm creating a pattern from it.  Then there was this thing involving a needle, some thread and Aida cloth.  In the end, this happened:

My only concern is that I made her too fair and one of the skirt shadows is off a bit.  I was thinking of trying my hand at Tangled next but saw he had a Tinker Bell.  Basically, a coin toss may become involved in this fight.

Have some fun detail shots:

This is now the droid you are looking for...

As Jabba learned, don't mess with Leia.

Next project is either going to be a wedding thingy or something else geeky...still debating.

Cosplay

Got around to stitching this up.  I'm a big fan of Cosplay and Cosplayers.  Love seeing the talents Cosplayers have with a sewing machine.  I'm thinking of doing something with the various foams and Worbla they use too.

Just waiting for the hamster to kick start the idea wheel.

I painted the 22 ct Aida cloth a medium dark grey as I felt it would make the blue pop out a little bit.  Even tried adding some shadows using a floss.  My only change would be to put all the lettering in the same coloring.  The white letters can get a little lost depending on the angle and don't read as nicely as the 'cosplay' does.

Will be available as a pattern soon.

I framed this in a 4 in. x 4 in. picture frame with cute little skulls.
