![]() The iPad app could however record my stitches (by me entering them manually, it has DMC thread charts and some other neat features). The first painting I decided to use as an experiment was my digital painting “David.” The app I downloaded couldn’t turn my painting into a pattern (unless I bought the desktop version, MacStitch, which was around the $35-65 USD range depending on which features you wanted). ![]() It was only about $2, so I figured that might be useful. ![]() I looked online and downloaded an app called “Cross Stitch 2 Go” on my iPad. Of course, I had no idea how to do that in practice. I was thinking it would be neat to be able to have other people be able to basically make their own versions of my paintings, so I came up with the idea of turning some of my paintings and drawings into cross stitch patterns. So I gave the craft up, and only thought about it again about six months ago. I lived in a small town so the availability of patterns and such was very limited at the best of times, so there certainly wasn’t anything modern that I could buy. I hadn’t cross stitched since I was a little kid, when I got older I decided I really didn’t like the traditional patterns and kits that you could buy. It’s pretty flexible which I like, and I decided to try and use the paintings I’ve done with the app in another media – cross stitch. I’ve found it to be really helpful in allowing me to draw and paint again, even if it is digitally. About a week ago I wrote a post about the ArtRage app that I’ve been playing with over the last year or so.
