OCT Challenge - Zodiac

Post by blackmageheart »

Thanks to the online random picker, we have the Zodiac for this challenge. This has been a popular idea for a long time and I'm really pleased to see it as a challenge!

We'll be using the modern zodiac, from Aries to Pisces. Choose your own sign, something that appeals to you or maybe you have an idea for a particular image - it's all good. Feel free to research and include anything relevant to the piece; a scale for Libra, a lion for Leo, etc. You can use astrological symbols and constellations as well. Be inventive!

As always, all crafts are welcome and if anyone requires assistance I will do my best to provide it. :)

Challenge ends October 31st, best of luck!

Is this a challenge that doesn't necessarily have to be video game oriented?

Yes! Entries don't have to be video game oriented for this one. :)

Can it be the Chinese zodiac or only the classic horoscope zodiac?

Made my pattern. Need to finish swap gifts first and then I'll stitch for this if I've got time.

Ooh love it! I did not finish Aug/Sept challenge though...only a few more rows of that piece and then I'll get on with this one!

Can one 'sign' be stitched or the whole Zodiac?

I think the idea is one sign, though stitching more than one would certainly be fine as well. (I assume. I won't speak on BMH's behalf. :P )

You assume correctly, sir.

I should have mentioned it in my opening post. You can stitch one sign, two signs, all the signs of a particular element or the whole zodiac if you wish!
