It was a friend's birthday on the 7th. She hinted at wanting Dr. Who DVDs (or possibly merchandise?), but since I am a bit strapped for cash (read: stingy), I made her a little embroidered button-badge of a Dalek. Came up with the design by sketching from some show photos. I am not a fan at all, but I think this guy is kinda cute. Too small to take-over/destory/'whatever-a-robot-super-villian-with-an-egg-beater-does' the world, at least.
The design is worked mainly in back stitch using single strand embroidery thread on a heavy grey (cotton blend?) scrap of fabric. The white knobbly bits are french knots.
And having now done my friendly duties, it is sleepy time :) University orientation starts tomorrow, yay!

Clever you. I've never actually watched Dr. Who so the only encounter with Daleks I've had was this:

Kind of cute I think.
