picspam: rehearsal polar bear

[phosfate]

Click to embiggen. Apologies for crappy phonecam pics.

Embroidered on pancake mix bag, mostly variegated thread. I stabbed myself but good in the finger at one point, but the bloodstain is hidden under the Arctic Ocean.

I love it! The texture on the bear is great.

I think I could probably be cloned from some of my childhood cross-stitches.

I don't remember ever sticking myself as a child, but then I did more needlepoint, and the needles aren't as sharp.

This ended the day I was changing yarn, stuck the needle in the rug I was sitting on, moved, and somehow got the tapestry needle through my kneecap. Backwards.

It didn't hurt, or even bleed, but pulling the thing out again was a bit of a struggle.
