See You In Inner Space

ballard

I don’t tend to get too worked up when famous people leave this world, but the passing of J.G. Ballard certainly gave me cause for more than a few moments contemplation. A friend tweeted the quote above – which I thought was quite a sweetly ironic thing to tweet – and I thought it deserved to be immortalised in cross stitch. But certainly not a traditional design.

Rest in Peace brother.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Pattern piece 1 and piece 2 – I recommend stitching it on black aida with white and DMC666 Red floss.
