Announcement CrosStitch Contest: Monster Costumes! - Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2012 4:55 pm Since the winners of my next CrosStitch contest will be released around Halloween, why not choose an appropriately creepy theme? This time around, I invite you to submit your original designs for monster costumes. Make them cute, terrifying, sexy or any combination of the above-- as always, creativity will be valued above all else. Gaia's artists will select the finest entries and turn them into items for my shop! For all the rules and details, visit the contest page. Visit the Contest Page Announcement CrosStitch Update: Halloween Costumes & New Contest! - Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 4:12 pm Gaians, greetings! With Halloween right around the corner, I'm very pleased to bring the winners of our last CrosStitch contest to the shop! As you might remember, the contest asked creative Gaians to design the Monster Costume of their dreams. They could've been scary, cute, or anywhere in-between. Narrowing the wonderful entries down to pick winners is never easy, and this time was no exception. There were many, many very creative entries all across the spectrum, but the winners have just hit the racks at CrosStitch: Visit CrosStitch! You can learn a little more about the winners and their designs on the winners page. What's more, there are a few extra spooky costumes that have just arrived at Barton Boutique, and some treats for your sweet tooth at Buttercup Cafe! As for the next contest-- it begins now. Visit the contest page for full details, of course, but here's a hint: Winter Coats! (I suppose that's a pretty revealing hint, but yes, design the Winter Coat of your dreams!) I'm looking forward to your entries! Contest Rules Sketches from winners of the last contest:
