Who was looking for the RV/pop up design

Thanks for the link, darn I wish it was a pop-up! But I may try to get this for someone I know!

Shouldn't be *too* hard to modify it into a pop-up. What I've done when trying to design something is find a picture that will work, save it on my computer and then put graph paper into my printer and print it out. Works *really* well, since you can adjust the picture to whatever size you need!

If that's not clear as mud, email me and I will try to explain a little better. For examples of things I've done this with, see my webshots album and look for the bookmark with the chair on it or my @ badge. The chair and horse were done with this technique. As was nearly the entire design for "Road to Hell".

I was thinking something similar. If you have pattern making software I would try importing a piece of clip art. A photo will work too but you would have to do alot more manipulation of the picture and colors to get it to look right.

Another possibility, sounds odd, but it works --

1. find a picture in a coloring book - or some other simple line drawing
2. tear it out or photocopy it if necessary to avoid destroying the book or to change the size --
3. do a running back stitch through the paper and onto the fabric - on every line you need to show the details you want to show.
4. tear away the paper and 'color it in ' with cross stitches, being careful to not cross over the backstitching you've already done.
5. If you don't want to have backstitching - use single strand of a light-colored floss to outline and stitch right over it.

Sounds odd, I know, but I have made a couple of really cool antique map reproductions this way.
