Artist's Comments

I saw this [link] and decided to make a similar one for my best friend for Christmas. Mine ended up quite a bit larger though.

Chella is a huge fan of Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon so I found the only existing Sailor Jupiter cross stitch pattern out there and got to work. It measured 200 x 300 stitches and 18 x 24 inches at that point. I worked my fingers to blisters trying to get it done in time but once I went to construct the actual pillow I hit a snag, no pun intended.

I was 90% done and ran out of trim because I has measured wrong! Hobby Lobby didn't get more in until a few days ago. Grr...!!! So yeah... she'll be getting her Christmas present at the beginning of March, lol. Whatever works I suppose.

Pictures just don't do it justice as it turned out really nifty! Now it is done and I am happy! It now measures 25 x 32 inches! I really hope she loves it. ^_^

You have a really cool hobby! Making crafts with cartoon characters! It's brilliant! :D

Nice to know I somehow inspired this. >.>
It's gorgeous.
(Jupiter's my fave senshi, too.)

That's amazing! I tried to make pillows out of the xstitches I had created, but they didn't turn out anywhere near as nice as yours, I might have to use some of your techniques, if you don't mind.
The xstitch itself is completely gorgeous, I'm truly astonished by it, amazing job!

Thank you for the compliments! ^_^ I'd be honored if you want to use any of my techniques. It was a fun project but it took a lot of patience to get right.

I don't see the glass as half full or half empty.
I see the glass with stuff in it.

O.o'
