WIP – BLOBS
Posted: September 16, 2015 Filed under: CRAFTS | Tags: ART, commission, CRAFTS, cross stitch, embroidery, handmade, textiles, work in progress 15 CommentsAlthough I have a stack of finishes, or almost-nearly-entirely-completely-finished finishes on my craft caddy, I thought it might get a bit boring if I only shared the projects that I completed whilst I was on hiatus.
This is one of the current canvases that I have hooped up. It is a custom commission for a friend and I’m pretty excited about it. So far I’ve used DMC #791 and #743 on 18 count Navy Aida. halfstitch asked recently, “which method of cross stitch do you use? The blob method or the parking method?” I answered with “Both.” Depending on the pattern for piece, one method always seems to work better. In this case, it’s the blob method. Look at those very unblobby, blobs!
Last time I posted a work-in-progress, someone on the cross stitch subreddit was annoyed because I wouldn’t say what it was supposed to be. Well, poo-poo on that. I like surprises.
Can you guess what these blobs will emerge as? Internet high fives to whoever gets it right.
Bonus points for most interesting answer!

I’m guessing that it is going to be a moon or night sky kind of thing, maybe for Halloween? Alternate guess: a gigantic wheel of cheese.
Ooh, the cheese would be un-brie-livable!
A cheese would not just be Gouda, it would be grate!
A moon with a werewolf underneath? 🙂 that would be cool!
That would be so cool!
Hehe, anything yellow makes me think of Minions!!
Oh man, I’ve never seen that movie. But, I can totally see the yellow head coming to life.
Could be an upside down and then it would look like a bowl
That’s very true, but unfortunately I’ve been stitching this project top-down.
Don’t know why…but I’m thinking The Pac-Man.
Ooh man, the boy I’m making this for would totally love if it was Pac-Man!

Haha, thanks. I’ve been reading a lot of Madeline with my goddaughter lately.
[…] last time I posted about this project, it was still in it’s infancy. I had a lot of fun reading folks’ guesses as to what it could be. Some people thought it […]
