This Is Handmade

Actually it's six minutes of cross stitch. I got engrossed and forgot to switch the camera off. 

Nothing but background colour. No snazzy audio (although if you turn everything way up, you might hear the TV show I was listening to.) 

I love this idea of yours :) I've finished a few large pieces before and am always told "OMG, you should sell that!... a statement usually quickly withdrawn after I calculate what the piece would cost using my current pay rate.

This is 5 minutes of needle felting from "a hippie with a minivan"

But something I'd bet you guys would be interested in. Thanks to Nicole Wolfersberger for the heads up!
