Crafting in the Time of Corona VI

There is no more room for display so my cross stitch pulp series is now complete. I actually wasn’t intending to make a series but after I finished the first one I found another cover on the internet and after I finished that one I found yet another. This last one for “The Silent Speaker” features the monkey wrench the victim was killed with.

Since I know the colors aren’t always accurate on the internet images, I figured I could adjust them. I thought the orange blood a little weird so I did the blood in the same red as I had on the knife of the previous cover and I matched the greens to the body on that cover as well. The body on the tag had to be simplified. And I didn’t like how the monkey wrench on the actual cover looked like it had an eye so I eliminated that detail. I alternated the two black one green and two green one black threads for the background on the right and while it doesn’t quite recreate that area of the cover I think it has somewhat of the same effect and complements the purple of the “Three at Wolfe’s Door” cover.
