you would never sell out / just like I did in playboy / that was art, it didn't count

I forgot to post this x-stitch that I made before Christmas. Once again it was my professor (who also bought this one) that wanted a gift for someone where she works, so now it hangs in the office of RFSU (the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education).

Apparently the guy who got it likes electronic music a lot, so I thought it would be nice to mix the sort of modern feeling of electronica with the old school Hungarian pattern.

there is nothin' fair in this world / there is nothin' safe in this world / & there's nothin' sure in this world

I think this is my first pre-ordered cross stitch piece ever, sold to one of my old gender studies teachers at Södertörn University as a wedding gift to some friends of her. The design is a mix of patterns from an old pattern book I bought last summer, but I think I've seen those roses in some other pattern archives/books too. I was a bit inspired by this old piece when I made it.
