More amazing space crafts are up for voting in the NASA Etsy craft contest — I’m featuring several over the next two days because there’s some amazing stuff to see! The first two photos are of an amazing high-texture embroidery of the Moon. It’s really worth looking at the rest of the images on the listing, to get a feel for the range of texture and stitches involved!

Next, a fantastic moon crater ring! I’ve tagged this “for men” because it’s a size 11.5. If you’re a woman and you can wear it, by all means! (And wow, you have bigger fingers than me… and I have big hands!)

Space-related cross-stitch

Posted by Danielle in Crafts & Hobbies on March 21, 2008

Stoney Creek Book #226: The Final Frontier

I bought this cross-stitch book in 2000 (and, as with most side hobbies, stopped in the middle of a project.) How often do you run into space-themed needlework? Not that often, I dare say. Fun layouts (if a little inaccurate), metallic thread and lots of detail! I do intend to make a few of these yet; especially since the chart of the planets still includes Pluto!
