Kokopelli Running Stitch

A couple of years ago I spent a week in Arizona visiting family and there were these Kokopelli images everywhere.  This humpbacked Flute Player is a mythical Hopi symbol of fertility, replenishment, music, dance, and mischief.   I've been wanting to stitch the Kokopelli image onto something & here he is on this weeks TAST running stitch challenge.

      Thanks Annet! So glad I finally got to stitch him somewhere. Now for deciding what I'm going to do with the whipped spider's wheel stitch. So much fun!!!

    I love Kokopelli! I play recorder, which is an early flute, and his trickster side is really appealing. Thanks for showing us this nice artwork.

      Thanks!! I took recorder in elementary school and flute later on but haven't picked up either in ages. Maybe Kokopelli is trying to tell me something ;)

      Thank you Linda! The border idea was from Sharon's Pintangle page and I really liked the look of it. Now for this weeks challenge :)

      Thank you very much! Wish I was better at picking out colours. Some people have such a wonderful knack for what looks good.
