Punisher Finish

The Punisher intarsia...done! But, me being me, that really only means that created another project. So, mostly done.

(To see the other posts on this project, please click the label titled 'intarsia' or 'comics')

After making the first Punished piece, I decided to make a Punisher purse. I might be a huge comic book fan, but I'm still a girl. I hooked up a strap and a side/bottom piece and made a purse out of it. This was my first go at lining a project. It went better than expected. My first thought was to line the purse with Cookie Monster fabric. But, everyone I suggested that to flailed about and yelled 'NO WAY!'. In the end, I went with a pink fabric with heats and flowers on it. I needed something to contrast the Punisher bits.

Edge and strap connection:


The edge is one piece, wrapped around and whip stitched onto the front and back sides.

Strap:


The strap is done in SC with SLST around the edge to help cut down on the stretching...and it just looks good.

Sneak Peak

After talking to what I will call a reputable source of Punisher knowledge, I have worked out my next grid for my project.

First we have a 9mm Beretta. Here is the original image:


and my grid:


You can't do that with out this:


I plan on doing the Beretta on white in shades of black and gray. The crosshairs will be either red on white or red on black. This project has taken on a life of its own. I get one thing done then add on another and another. I'll be done with it one day.

Punisher intarsia part 2

After making my first intarsia piece, I knew I wanted to do another one. The last Punisher piece (blog post here) I did was just to see if I could do it. I looked at it for about a month before I decided on what to do with it. I finally made my decision and that involved making another intarsia piece of the same size and shape. I went with a different type of Punisher logo:



I decided to do just the right side one to keep the size the same.

Here's a work in progress picture with the grid:



And the finished piece:



Hopefully, I'll have the entire thing together to show you my final vision sometime soon. I'm thinking by next week. *crosses fingers*

Learning intarsia with the Punisher

Two of my favorite things are crocheting and comic books. I never really thought to try to crochet anything from the comics I read before. But, while taking to a friend, it hit me. I could crochet that! That being the Punisher's logo:

First, I had to grid it and work out how to do intarsia crochet. Grid was finished this morning, a quick try or two on the intarsia process and I got started.

I ended up with this:

Not the best, but pretty good for a first try. I think it would have been better had my printer not flaked out on me and not wanted to print black ink. Hard to do a black and white grid in shades of gray. I'm going to try again, different Punisher logo just because the he has the best logo out there.
