My cross-stitch nemesis (in a very Kate Beaton sense of nemesis)

Scarlet Quince's rendition of the horse painting from Lascaux, which is fully stitched 208 by 142 stitches (a bit over 29,000 stitches total) on 18-count aida.

The beginning: March 6, 2021

June 23, 2021, approximately 11% complete by total stitch count.

One year on, March 2, 2022, approximately 18% complete.

March 28, 2022, the top twenty rows are complete all the way across and it's 22.5% complete by stitch count.

July 13, 2022, the top thirty rows are complete and it's 27.7% complete.

October 8, 2022, 40 rows complete and 35.6% complete by stitch count.

50 rows complete as of today, July 16, 2023! Very crumpled and no stitch count percentage because I last worked on it while I was on vacation and it was long enough ago that my phone browser lost all my pattern data and I have to rebuild it from the last backup, which I cannot face right now because UGH, NEMESIS.

(The lighting mostly does not represent how absolutely impossible it is to distinguish all those gray/beige/blue colors that are forming the background, and I was Very Clever and did this project on cream-colored fabric that doesn't show through gaps so obviously, which means it... blends together and is Worse, Actually.)

Few more shots of the Cave Ponies going up in my Etsy shop tomorrow (3/16)!

I bought these sweet little wooden horses years ago at a craft store and finally got around to painting them recently. Their coat colors and markings are inspired by horses depicted in Paleolithic cave paintings <3

my favorite crafting/survival game is getting a big update soon that will really open up the exploration aspect and i'm SO excited! these are screenshots from that game- you can upload art into it and use it as decals that conform to uneven surfaces, which is perfect for cave art!

A horse colored with yellow ochre from Lascaux cave

“Yellow, in the form of yellow ochre pigment made from clay, was one of the first colors used in prehistoric cave art. The cave of Lascaux has an image of a horse colored with yellow estimated to be 17,300 years old.” - Yellow

Would you be open to sharing your lichen tattoo? That sounds awesome!

Totally!! I love showing it off & as a bonus (?) I'll also throw in my latest tattoo (from february), a hand-poked Lascaux horse (I plan to add two more so I have a small bicep-herd)!

Lichen:

& Lascaux-horse (the closeup was from right after it was done, so it's a little angry-looking...I still need a proper fully-healed photo, but the awkward, look ma, same horse! snapshot is all I have for now)

WORDS TO HOLD IN OUR HEARTS

A very tiny migration! But as a fan said, it’s a FAMILY, so it’s an important one. Finally working on my single-box artwork! Small shrine series We make our art for ourselves, first. A couple years ago, I had the opportunity to share my work with a new gallery in a small town here in Sonoma County. The owner loved my work, and did a great job of displaying it. After six months, they had me take…

Oh, look! It's a paleolithic Breyer™ horse!

[ID: Boxed shaped clay sculpture of a Przewalski's horse. The horse's body is painted onto the box in the style of palaeolithic cave art, and the front half from the shoulders is realistic and three-dimensional, fully emerging at the end of the box. The horse is in a walking pose with the front left leg raised and the head tilted slightly sideways. Each photo shows a different angle. End ID]

Yeah, happy with this. Will be remaking it at some point, hopefully with less issues. I'll have to give it a coat of gloss as this clay is not hardy and needs protection.

for the record yes that is a cow however there are more animal's on that wall
