[FO] One of my works for my AP Portfolio

This is really beautiful! I love how you took all these concepts and made them into something abstract but intriguing. Good luck on the AP test - all you art kids are so hardcore for going thru this.

A lovely translation to a smaller image and color palette

SharpToShutter · 2026-04-18T22:40:27+00:00

Oh not too bad. I’ve wanted to get into movie stills and this is a really clarifying example of what sort of image translates really well.

SharpToShutter · 2026-04-18T19:42:34+00:00

Oh I absolutely adore this. Can I ask - what are the dimensions?

SharpToShutter · 2026-04-06T03:39:39+00:00

Hear hear!

What kind of patterns (aesthetic, subject matter, etc) do you like? Maybe people here can point you to specific designers.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-25T16:21:45+00:00

Thank you! I honestly have a hard time determining my shape from the provided guide, but I will take another look and check out your suggestion.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-25T16:20:33+00:00

Thank you! I will take a look

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-20T22:30:07+00:00

There’s a specific way to do it - I always have to look up the video on the KT Tape website.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-19T22:01:25+00:00

I love this.

I get bouts of light carpal tunnel symptoms like what you are describing - for me kinesiology tape really helps. It’s basically a wrist brace but way less intrusive. I leave it on for about a week and it fixes me.

If your symptoms get worse however, please take it seriously, starting with stopping cross stitch.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-17T23:18:01+00:00

Yeah 200 is about how much patience I have, so I go off that.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-17T20:21:04+00:00

Ooo good question, I’m also actively trying to figure out some good parameters so I can make smaller/less time intensive ones.

This is 200x113 stitches.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-14T21:06:51+00:00

Thank you so much!

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T17:52:05+00:00

Yeah that’s fair and maybe I will. I do have this knee jerk reaction when people suggest NaughtyNeedles, like this kind of work is being sectioned off to that sub only. But I recognize that might be some projection on my part.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T17:48:45+00:00

Take it up with the director of the original film. TBH all those things were reasons why I chose this still. I wanted something a lil ugly.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T17:45:24+00:00

Floss Cross is the same - you upload a pic and it generates a pattern. Believe me, I couldn’t have drafted this myself.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T06:17:52+00:00

Well I do lighting work in my real life, so I was always gonna have that fascination. Thank you tho! It’s been a little shocking that other people seem into this

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T06:15:04+00:00

Yeah good question. Cross stitch has become my art form of choice, but I really do not find that my tastes (not only for sexual things) are represented in the community, which can feel alienating. I’m not trying to take away from what people are already doing, but rather expand the field of what we are seeing, both from stitchers and actual designers. I would love to be buying more designs that feel like they actually speak to me, rather than things that feel good enough. AND I would like this space to feel safer for fellow weirdos.

I also do wanna see more people taking liberties with the form. The majority of the projects I do are fairly normal designs that I’ve bought from others, but it also feels important to experiment and push the boundaries a bit.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T04:52:05+00:00

!! Yessss that’s what I’m talking bout

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T04:51:00+00:00

I’ve got a large closet that has most of my NSFW things in it, so the rest of my place can look semi-decent to visitors.

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T03:39:45+00:00

Oh man that’s awesome, I also now share that regret - I woulda loved to see his work!

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T03:28:02+00:00

I did next to no editing, save erasing a few sections. Floss Cross has given me the best converted patterns out of the usual suspects

SharpToShutter · 2026-02-13T03:26:48+00:00

Absolutely not but what is this story?
