Earlier this year she finally persuaded me to pick it up when she showed me patterns she&#8217;d found for mini iterations of classic art pieces. I did a Starry Night one first.<br><br>You might notice this picture is not Starry Night. Very astute of you. No, this is my second project, when I decided I knew enough to make my own pattern.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t super hard to get it started; I needed an idea, a grid, and a way to lay them over each other. I made an outline of a d20 first then drew a dragon on my drawing software (I use Krita), then overlaid the grid and filled in the squares with color, then traced over them on a new layer and labeled that with the colors I wanted&#8230; so not super hard but probably kind of labor intensive and I&#8217;m sure not the easiest way to make a pattern.<br><br>Nonetheless, I&#8217;m gifting you with said pattern. It&#8217;s&#8230; not gonna be easy to read. I&#8217;d apologize but hey, it&#8217;s my first go and it worked well enough. I didn&#8217;t use specific DMC colors because I used the grab-bag of colors I&#8217;d already gotten, so match if you&#8217;d like or do your own thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Edit: updated easier-to-read version <a href=\"https:\/\/elizabethdoman.com\/?p=1034\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d20-dragon-cross-stitch-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"pixellated grid-image of the cross stitch dragon in color\" class=\"wp-image-58\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d20-dragon-cross-stitch-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d20-dragon-cross-stitch-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d20-dragon-cross-stitch-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d20-dragon-cross-stitch-1536x989.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/d20-dragon-cross-stitch.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Color Pattern<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dragon-pattern-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"black and white sketch of the cross stitch pattern\" class=\"wp-image-57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dragon-pattern-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dragon-pattern-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dragon-pattern-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dragon-pattern-1536x989.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.elizabethdoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dragon-pattern.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Black and White pattern<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>Intellectual Property of Elizabeth Doman<\/em><br><em>Feel free to share via link<\/em><br><em>Do not copy to other websites or skim for AI training <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my friends is a big cross-stitcher.
