Game of Thrones - House Sigils Cross Stitch Patterns

Hi Everyone! I am very pleased to announce that I have finished with my latest patterns! I've been working on these for a few months now and I hope you all like them.

I offer all of these patterns for sale on my Etsy page for $3.99 each. Buy 3 Get 1 free when you go through this listing.

The photo below is also the photo I use in the listing for all four patterns.  



 I think it would be a really cool design to put the four patterns together in kinda of a diamond pattern like the one on the right. And then make a large cross stitch to put on a pillow.
This is the Baratheon Stag Sigil with Crowns
When I started making these patterns I wanted to make them all consistent. So I only did the heads of each of the animals. The antlers on the stag were extremely difficult to design. And I probably should've use a darker yellow because you can barely read the motto. The crowns along the top are of course there because the "Baratheons" are the ruling family of Westeros. 

This is the Lannister Lion Sigil with Coins
 I wish that the Lannister and Baratheon colors weren't so similar. I wish one of them was green. But that is out of my control. I wanted a symbol that represented each of the houses. The obvious choice for the Lannisters was gold. I looked up Westeros coins and found a seven pointed star coin that I thought would look quite nice. I did try doing faces on the coins but the area was just too small to make it look right. I don't really think you can tell the coins are coins but the stars look cool enough on their own that it doesn't matter if you don't realize they are suppose to be coins. 

This is the Stark Dire Wolf Sigil with Swords
 This pattern is definitely the most recognizable of all the sigil patterns. I did add an ear to the outline of the wolf's head because without it I didn't think it looked much like a wolf. Usually a wolf's ears are up, by adding the ear in a downwards position, you can tell the wolf is growling. I also used the swords at the top because they are suppose to represent the Stark family sword Ice. 

This is the Three-Headed Targaryen Sigil with Dragon Eggs
This is probably my favorite of these patterns. Again, to keep the patterns consistent, I only did the head of the dragon. The three dragon eggs (not pinecones) at the top are suppose to represent the three eggs Daenerys received at her wedding. I was toying with the idea to make them the same colors as in the book (green, cream, and black); but I decided against it because I wanted to stay with the two thread colors for each pattern.
