Chihiro Hoopla!

I Stitched this up for my partner DaphadillyArt in the Miyazaki Swap.

For some background, Chihiro is the heroine of the movie "Spirited Away"

In the movie, she is moving to a new town with her parents,

and not too happy about being torn away from everything she knows.

(Let's just say 15 year old me related to this.)

A "short cut" was taken and then the parents are...

otherwise delayed. 

Adventures, of course, ensue.

I wouldn't want to give too much more away as it's a really interesting movie!

Although this is a solid "fill in" stitch, I wanted to do some texture with the stitching.

I tried to mimic how hair falls in layers with alternating chunks of satin stitch.

I hope you check out the movie.

To be warned...

There are some intense parts.

Perhaps not "every" child friendly, but I do know of one little man who LOVES IT!
