How about some critters this time? Here’s a caravan snail and a bitty baba yaga inn with a couple fun miniatures I found thrifting.

Up next is the giant atlas moth I made mostly for my Flick cosplay. This is the largest embroidered moth I’ve made to date!

How about some fun, nerdy #crossstitch ornaments

A set of 5 ornaments with cross stitched quotes and related images. “There is a shortage of perfect breasts in the world, it would be a shame to damage yours” with a dagger, “ I see you quiver with antici-“ with the Rocky horror opening lips, “shepherdess makes quite a mess but little lambs are lovely” with a sheep, “fuck the shrimp” with a shrimp, and “dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth” with a T. rex.

A cross stitched ornament with a tiny emperor palpatine and red text that reads “what the hell is an aluminum falcon?!?”

It’s not a game title but still fits in

I haven’t been on here long enough for it to contain hardly any of the things I’ve made so let’s make a thread of fun shit crafted by Mikey!

And I’m gonna start with my #monsterhunter #crossstitch with my favorite monsties!

A cross stitch piece with 6 squares each containing designs of creatures from Monster Hunter including the paolumu, Tzi-tzi yaku, dread queen rathian, Kulve taroth, pukei-pukei, and anjanath.

Found this in my Insta stuff and I know it’s not a real thing; if I got anything it’s be a tshirt with something like this printed on.

But hot damn this is an awesome idea and now I kinda want to just make one for myself. As though I have the time hahahahahahahahahah 😭

Nothing will top petting Cerberus in the first game but having Frinos, Hecuba, and Gale around after every run is essential to my mental health

I’m not actively cosplaying here recently but a Hades cosplay (no clue who yet cause all the designs are so pretty) is on my bucket list and you would make an EXCELLENT Zagreus 🔥

Ok so I made this jacket like a year ago and it’s just been sitting here buttonless. Finally dug out 6 I matching buttons and now I can actually wear the dang thing!

Now I just need it to not be 70* out.

Ok I know I’m late to the party cause this comes out in like a couple of weeks but…. Why are there two Gen 2 starters?? I mean I don’t care that much cause Totodile is one of my faves but like… weird choice

With the moth done, I’m going back to my Taranglia (star-eater) to add some details and flesh him out a little bit. I liked the outline but it needed a little more so I’m using French and colonial knots to shade it.

My Luna moth is finished and attached! The second photo shows off how the little moons on the forewings glow 🌘

I might go back and add a little more to the body but at this point I’m just happy enough to call this part done.

Second, I get to call an upon the triple goddess in the three stages of the dandelion flower. Reflected in the bud/flower/seed puff are the maiden/mother/crone.

Planning this project has been fun and finally seeing more of it come together has been amazing 😁

Mikeysaurus Rex @kiltedkatana.bsky.social · Sep 14

So why dandelions? Well besides the fun idea with the seeds turning into stars, I’m trying to incorporate a lot of different magical elements/associations into this vest. The dandelions are twofold: first they are air-aligned and eventually my outfit will have all four traditional elements included.
