Vulgar Little Cross Stitches

Here are a few little cross stitches I've finished over the past week & a half. Haha, yeah these are what my breaks from crafting look like! I know these aren't for everyone & they probably won't be all well-received but ya know, that's me! I like to think my crafts really do reflect me as a person-and baby, I'm vulgar, love it or leave it!

I really liked the way kittykill's white & black cross stitch looked, so I thought I'd try it out.



available @ my etsy store for $5.00 a piece!
Let me make this clear though, these are not intended to be degrading whatsoever. I'm all about female empowerment & I think taking back the power & negativity of these words & making them just that-words-is what it's all about. I've been called all three & worse more than once & I choose to take it all in stride. Sticks n stones, ya know?

I really love the word cunt. It is so wonderful. Great job with the color combo! Once we learn to take those words back, they will begin to empower.

Good work. I like the font and the white on black works a treat!
And they get right to the point.

I agree, they both get right to the point! I love vulgar words and especially seeing them stitched. It makes me happy :) The black and white goes great together too! Great job doll!

Very cool! I love how the white-on-black looks with that font.

I hear ya on reclaiming words that have been used to demean and degrade women. More power to you for immortalizing them in stitch. ;)
