Day 24! This month I am taking part in the A-Z Challenge. After much deliberation I have decided to do a Disney themed cross-stitch sampler, so this post we continue with the A-Z Challenge: Disney Alphabet X!
You can read more about the A-Z Challenge on the website here: a-to-zchallenge.com.
I really like this challenge as it gets me visiting other blogs, and making new blogger friends, as well as giving me a challenge of daily posting!
My A-Z Challenge
I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for the challenge this year; I’ve taken part before; on past blogs, and always really enjoyed it. It is a LOT of work, though I am (a little) ahead; so thought I’d share my cross-stitch Disney alphabet sampler, as I go.
Each letter will be hand cross-stitched to about 1.5ins; give or take. Though inspired by Disney, I have designed the letters myself; based on characters from the films. Simply rough sketching the idea in a notebook; (so don’t be surprised if this ends up a little messy!)
I didn’t have rules as such, though I have tried not to use a film more than once through the sampler, and of course some letters offered far more limited choices!
And so what will follow every day through April, is a short post sharing each letter! And some facts about the films represented too as a bonus!
A-Z Challenge: Disney Alphabet X
A little artistic and linguistic license today, with Xiang Yu, more commonly known as Shan Yu, villainous leader of the Huns, from Mulan. Had to be him as the only character beginning with X (in Chinese). I had a little fun attempting to stitch Hayabusa the falcon. Mulan is such a wonderful film with fun songs and great characters! It was released in June 1998, and is Disney Animated Classic #36.
Which country is your favourite Disney character from?
Which character would you choose for X if there wasn’t one at all? I would have considered some sort of play on something…
Previous Letter W
Next Letter Y
Or start at the beginning.
Regular content is on pause for the duration of this month; though I will be posting on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in the meantime! (Socials links can all be found below).
Ooh nice detail!
Thanks 😊
