*dies from awesomeness*

I LOVE THIS! Not only is it of my favorite KHR character but I also love the way it's presented. His expression and pose are so awesome!

It certainly what I wasn't expecting but the results are amazing. I can see the hard work that you placed into this. Thank you a million times over!!

P.S. I definitely do want the piece once reveals are done. My email is Yellow.Charpie@gmail.com.

Eee!! Yay I'm so glad you liked it! :D

I'm actually not quite finished with him (had to submit him at, about, 95% completion in order to not default), but then I'll hit you with an email so I can send him your way.

AWESOME! :D I love needlework so much, and you did a brilliant job. I love his smirk.

[fangirlism]

Thank you!

That little grin, hahahaha. I'm just so impressed by the work and thought that went into this one.

[fangirlism]

:D

[fangirlism]

Yay and \o/ for fannish cross stitchers!

Seeing fannish craftswork always makes me so happy ♥ Gokudera looks adorable and oh-so-cutely badass at the same time!

[fangirlism]

Thank you!

[noelleno.livejournal.com]

Oh how adorable! I'm loving all of this year's handicrafts :>>>

[fangirlism]

Thank you!

And I know, the crafts this year were amazing.

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's incredible. :D You have made me reevaluate my ideas about cross stitch on the spot! Apart from being slightly in awe of your choice of medium, I love the devilish expression he has going on.

[fangirlism]

:D I know the craft's got kind of a stigma around it, but the face of it is changing, especially now that there are programs designed to convert images to patterns.

zomg that's so awesome!! :D :D :D :D

[fangirlism]

Thank you!

[inknose.livejournal.com]

cross stitch? badass!! don't know the character, but that is some great work.

[fangirlism]

Thank you!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

... my coworker, bless her, is always showing me her needlepoint ballerinas and flower bouquets and terriers, so this is a welcome and awesome change! How you were able to get so much expression and character into (what I am assuming is) freehand cross-stitch work, I do not know. But I can admire! Great stuff!

[fangirlism]

I actually took a picture and converted it to a pattern with a program I've got on my computer, so the details are from the original image.

[melisus.livejournal.com]

This is adorable!

[fangirlism]

Thank you!

[nasimjoon.livejournal.com]

[tingirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. This has been an artistically humbling day, it has.;)

This? Is beautiful. Lucky, lucky crafter-recipients!

[fangirlism]

Aww... heh. I'm no one to write home about... there is a reason I went the crafty route.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

He is *so* adorable! Wonderful work! I love the shading on his teeth and eyes. :D

[fangirlism]

Thank you!

[bluelittlepig.livejournal.com]

That looks so awesome! I haven't seen fannish cross stitching before and this is just lovely. I love the expression and his hair.

[fangirlism]

:D Thanks so much!

[janegodzilla.livejournal.com]

This is amazing! The composition is fabulous and I love the way you shaded (IN CROSS STITCH OMG!), and overall this is just a really cool, creative piece. I'm super impressed!

[fangirlism]

Heh... it's really all about finding the right pattern. :)

Edit: Also, thank you!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

That is so great! I've only just recently seen some great fandom cross stitching, and this one would be among them!

[fangirlism]

Aww thank you!

[mawaridi.livejournal.com]

That's adorable! I love seeing artists use different media for fanart, and cross stitch is definitely not just for grandma's samplers. This is great :D

[fangirlism]

That it isn't! I was impressed by all the crafts.

Thank you!

[leochi.livejournal.com]

Aww, so cute - I admire your patience with needlework, wow!

[fangirlism]

Thank you! Yes, patience is key with these. :)

[chen-san.livejournal.com]

This is so awesome ♥ great job!

[fangirlism]

Thank you! ♥

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

That looks so work-intensive! Insane! 19 colors? You can't tell -- I mean, you did such a fantastic job blending and planning, it just works, and you can't see everything you put into it, which surely was a lot, so that must mean you did it well! Amazing!

[fangirlism]

Thank you! :D

[turlough]

That's so cool!! What a wonderfully original media to chose and it really works too, awesome!

[fangirlism]

Thank you! :)

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Squee! How inventive! And I love how you captured the smirk.

[fangirlism]

Thank you!

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, how awesome!! Don't really follow this fandom but this is adorable. :) Way to rock the cross stitch!

[fangirlism]

Woo! :D Thanks!
