Title: Tatoo Pic Help
Post by: AcdQueen89 on July 07, 2010, 06:27:13 AM
kinda random and i'm pretty sure i'm the only one that would ever want to even think about this.

my sister got engaged a few months ago and i've decided that i'm going embroider his and her hand towels for either the wedding present or a christmas present (they havent mentioned talking about dates yet). his name is eric so i'll be associating "eric the half-a-bee" (monty python) with his. my sister's name is lydia and i found a marx brother's song "lydia the tattooed lady" for her's. for eric's towel there's the obvious bee association but i'm having trouble finding a pattern that can sort of work for a tattoo picture that can be adapted to a cross stitch pattern. the muppets did a version of "tattoo lady" but the character they have covered in tattoos would be difficult to pull off on a towel.

to sum up: does anyone know of a cartoonish pic that i can adapt to a hand towel?

have you tried looking for a pin up girl picture you could make into a pattern?  Just pick a simple pose and add whatever tattoo you want.

That reminds me; you still haven't sent the pics yet.

My son Mathew draws artwork for a local tattoo artist. I'll have to get the link to his artwork online. The kid is amazing how he just draws things. He's really into anime and plans on going to school for graphic arts next year. 'm sure he could come up with something for you, if you haven't found anything yet.
