It was my best friend's birthday yesterday, and I wanted to show off the progression series of the cross-stitch project I made for them! :D
I combined the symbols for Water, Earth, Fire and Air from Avatar the Last Airbender with their respective I Ching symbols, because we are both fascinated with those things! ^_^ (I mean, Air is with the Heaven symbol, but it's opposite to Earth, so it still kinda works.)
In the center are Tui and La, the fish that resemble Yin and Yang in Avatar. For the other I Ching symbols (Wind, Thunder, Mountain and Lake) I decided to not take them literally, and instead use symbols that were more important to my friend and me.
Positioned to be opposite colors of the fish, I placed a black cat and a white rabbit. They symbolize how we like to imagine our spirits / personalities in animal form. They are the cat, and I am the rabbit. ^,^ (No, I will not elaborate.)
In the remaining spots, I put a pink heart for me, because whenever we text I always use this 💖 emoji to say I love them, and a rainbow heart for them, because they are LGBTQ+ and tend to use all the colored heart emojis to say they love me.
❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
I thought the piece felt a little empty, and I learned that my friend wants to learn music, so I added a rainbow of random notes and musical symbols! And when I went to Michaels to find a frame for the whole thing (pictured below), I found this beautiful and sparkly metallic thread that reminded me of rainbows and fireworks, and I knew I HAD to implement it into the piece, because my friend would love that! ^_^
The whole thing took me about a month to complete, working on and off between life and video editing. ^_^ My friend is one of the most special people in the world to me. This cross-stitching is something I adored every moment of creating, and I couldn't be more proud. And I'm so relieved they got it on time for their birthday, because apparently whoever delivered it messed up and sent it to the wrong house, even though my friend confirmed that I clearly wrote the correct address on the package! XD
Thanks for indulging me! ^_^

dear 🍓,
I’m so sorry for being two days late
but happy birthday to one of my most wonderful anons, who always checked if I was okay and was too cautious not to spam me when I said I was overwhelmed easily.
you are one of my favourite people on this site and I’m so sorry we couldn’t co-op on the day, I’ve just been extremely busy with real life stuff. I thought I would have time but unfortunately I didn’t.
but I’ve added you now, you’ll know who I am hopefully :,) (please don’t share my UID)
i hope you had a wonderful day my friend, you deserve all things good in this life. you’re such a pure, thoughtful soul and I can’t praise you enough, and I’m so thankful you stuck around for so long.
I’m sorry if I’ve upset you for being so late for your asks, I truly appreciate all the things you say to me, so please don’t dare think otherwise friend.
hopefully I’ll see you soon 💞
again, happy belated birthday my dear fragola, ti voglio bene !!
