Black Metal Christmas

So I made this stocking for my husband for Christmas.  Clearly we are not a religious family.  I like to make stuff for people for Christmas because it's more personal and whatnot, and when I was growing up my mom made everyone in the family a Christmas stocking that we used every year.  Ryan hasn't had a Christmas stocking for a long time, and that just ain't right.  Not that he really cared, but I like to make stuff and I wanted to give him something that actually relates to who he is rather than just generic Christmas shit.  So here's the stocking, it's all hand embroidered and appliqued, and that shit took forever.

Jesus, I need a better camera.  I was telling my mother that I was making this thing and she suggested that I submit it to the State Fair for judging.  They might not be so into it.  However, Ryan was.
