Designing Cross Stitch

Every now and then I like to make things for my friends. Sometimes this comes in the form of recreating their favourite characters from cartoons/ movies that we love. The thing is, there aren't that many patterns to choose from when it comes to alternative interests. There are a few available through Etsy and Pinterest, but I thought I'd have a go at making my own.


Lets take Rick and Morty for example. This is a Cartoon produced by adult swim that our friends Munch and Webb introduced me to while we were on holiday in America. Since watching it with them, I have recognised references to the show that I was completely oblivious to in the past. Some of my favourite references have been in the form of plaques at protests against Trump and the impact that his policies could have on Science and Education in the States.

ANYWAY.



I wanted to do a little cross stitch for Munch, because I love her. And she loves Rick and Morty.
One of my favourite characters so far as been Mr Meeseeks - lol.


But low and behold, no pattern that I wanted! So, I printed some 2mm squared paper and drew him.

Like so:

And then I used the abundance of thread that I have to find a decent colour, and then cross stitched him:

And voilà! A little pressie for my friend!

Then one for Drew...

 

and then one for us!
