Blackwork Embroidery Patterns

I saw some lovely biscornu patterns, done in blackwork, which made me decide to try and make some patterns myself. Now, these are absolutely tiny, no bigger than 10x10 stitches each. So in order to make something substantial with one you will need to repeat it quite a few times...
But a teensy pincushion that only has room for one needle might be cute too ;)
Enjoy :)

Cross Stitch Bear Pattern

After all those Tile Patterns I felt like doing something different and here's the result. The cheek colour and shade on the floor are optional. If you would like to add these, the easiest way would probably be to use either coloured pencil or apply some pastels powder with a cotton bud. However, I would recommend to try it out on some scraps of cross stitch first...
Have fun :)
