Hi all. I'm back cross stitching after not doing it for about a year. I got this pattern on Etsy and started it yesterday. It's all cross stitch but I'm going to try to work in some specialty stitches. I think I might do the background of the face in satin at least and add some beads and metallics. It's DMC on some type of linen I got at the craft store and the pattern on Etsy at Hank's Pattern Place. He also has a bear skull I'd like to do.

What a great project! I have a sugar skull pattern from I think the same Etsy seller. Mine is for a chihuahua for a present. Fun!

Thank you both! I adore sugar skulls. I'd like a whole collection of them. But I have soooo many WIPs already.

Coolpenguin, I saw that chihuahua and might add him to my list along with the bear. They're so cute!

Rather neat, but sinister, too...

When I was scrolling down, I was thinking what an unusual and cute kitty...then bam! Fangs! If I have bad dreams tonight, it's all your fault.

FCCS, I hope your dreams weren't frightening.

Small update. I've haven't been feeling well in addition to switching back and forth between this and my Chatelaine so it's only a small amount done on each. And I had to frog a section in the middle of this.

Thanks so much for sharing! I've never heard of these, but have found a few nifty patterns on Etsy and some from Prairie Moon designs, too. OOOOH, new fun things!

A lovely and unusual design and nice progress

Finally finished! I'm going to frame it in white. The pattern called for the face background to be stitched but I like it as-is.
