Artecy freebies for October
This month we've got a colourful tree that I really like the look of (90 colours, but it just might be worth it!), and a quintessential Italian coastal town.
This is, as promised, a reminder to cross stitch pattern hoarders everywhere 😂

@thegiddystitcher @lemmy_stitch I really like the tree and I'm hoarding it for later, but I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that it was AI generated (the image, not the pattern). I had the same thoughts about the owl from the previous freebies. I know a lot of work is involved in making a pattern so that sparks an inner conflict.
@IoSapsai @lemmy_stitch Oh no, I didn't even notice that and now I'm sad.
@thegiddystitcher @lemmy_stitch Oh noo! I didn't mean to spoil it. I'm still seriously considering making it myself. With 90 colours I'd probably cheap out on floss, using non-dmc brands.
I don't really have a problem with it being AI since they're giving it away for free, and they're being upfront that it's an AI design.
@MrJameGumb that's why I'm conflicted. Converting that image to a proper pattern takes work. I can't say how good it is. They're upfront and I didn't see any AI images in their catalogue for sale. My issue with this is that Midjourney allegedly is trained by using copyrighted images without the creators' consent. There wasn't any creativity involved when generating the image other than the prompt. On the other hand it's (hopefully) not used for profit so I hope you see where I'm coming from.
