Sharpie Art – Paintings and Drawings and T-Shirts!

by

If you have 4 minutes or so check out this sharpie art video. It’s Harold and the Purple Crayon meets er.. someone with a sharpie. While I was watching it I was annoyed that they were so focused in but then at the end it’s clear why.

I can’t remember why I was searching for Sharpie art but I also came across this cute Sharpie Tie Dye Tutorial.

001_sharpieAnd Unfocused Brain has some cool black and white and color drawings done from photographs. beautiful!

johnclarkAnd John Clark on Etsy does these wonderful sharpie paintings on pages of old books, the way he incorporates some text from the page is pretty neat.

Justine Ashbee does huge and gloriously flowing Sharpie paintings.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
