recently i helped @saltphoenix replace her solar charge controller (and leveled up my own solar hacking skills in the process). and she made me this absolutely stunning embroidered patch badge to mark my achievement. 😻​

an embroidered green patch that says "1337 S014r Sx1LZ" on top and "13V313d UP" on bottom

the center has a design that's part sun and sunflower, and part a hand holding a lightning bolt. this is an original design!

Partial embroidery that I'm working on. It's from a pic I took on a walk with my husband.

Not gonna lie. Hand embroidery is so therapeutic. Focus on your hands. That's all that matters in the moment.

btw I never shared the dress I made for the medieval festival in Eggenburg.
It's 100% handsewn and embroidered with real gold folie and pearls.
The left picture is what I fashioned it after but changed some minor details. Video is in the making but I probably need another 3-4months for it. :( #medieval #sewing #Reenactment #embroidery

I've got some actual progress for #WIPWednesday this week. In TWO crafts!

The world map is a long-running project that I once thought would only take a week. Was inspired to pick it back up just last night due to the Autumn colours, love it!

And the green jumper is one of my #FallFinishAlong goals, got one sleeve finished last week and just most of the second one to go! Ten whole days left to do it in, of course. But ack, sleeves.

#BlackworkEmbroidery

A blackwork embroidery project in red, brown and orangey Autumn shades. It is a world map made from cogs of different sizes and patterns. So far I've completed Africa, Europe and most of Asia.

#FallFinishAlong Friends, I need your advice. I am working on these 2 grey & yellow embroidery hoops. (The grey thread looks less purple IRL). Do you think I should…

A) Finish each hoop monochromatically
Or
B) Finish both hoops with a third color, possibly this light green?

#mastoArt #Embroidery #Sewing #WIP #WIPWednesday #FiberArt #FiberArts

2 mostly-finished embroidery hoops. 
1st hoop: A flower mandala in grey thread on yellow. 2 sections - a circle near the middle and some large leaves at the edges - have not been stitched yet.
2nd hoop: A sunflower mandala in yellow thread on grey. Sections of the mandala - a circle of knots & some half-done compound stiches near the middle  - have not been stitched yet.

Update on the Christmas #embroidery. Got the suit done. :)

Embroidery in progress on denim in a hoop. Most of it is a sketch depicting a heterosexual couple in wedding garb. The woman's dress has some white outlines stitched in as well as some French knots to show pearl buttons down the front. The man's suit is filled in with shades of black, white, and grey for shadows. His bowtie is a little bit messy, and it's black with white spots. The rest is still just sketches.

Finally the penny has dropped! I have an exhibition showcase at a rather conservative #embroidery festival. My #BiodiversityShrines are provocative in a region with farmers who spray pesticides twice when the soil is broken (their logic) and far too many people vote for Le Pen. My idea: I build them up as #archaeological #museum exhibits from the #future! #Subversive. Catch them by #beauty and #colours and when they are hooked ... bang! 😁 #EcoArt #ArtActivism #assemblage #activism #biodiversity

Tiny ants made of rocailles and the finest wire sitting on violet silk for a test.
Watering a big piece of bark from a wild cherry (prunus avium). It looks like a papyrus roll. Therefore, I want to fix it like this. On the inside, I want to stitch a fantasy writing with yarn, as if it is a find of an ancient civilisation. Wild cherries are a common tree at forest edges but more and more die because heatwaves and droughts are too much for them.
A red vintage cigarette tin box for an assemblage because we "burn biodiversity away". It is wallpapered with a page from a vintage dictionary that begins with the word "human". Other words are checked, forming a story. Inside, a "spider's web" of raw silk is laid out. The cigarette slogan is visible on the lid: When only the best will do. I plan an installation with my small ants but have still to craft some.

I finished it!
This was my first time doing woven roses and it was way trickier than I thought but also easy? It's so strange. I'm happy with how they came out though!

Not showing the original for privacy, but here's the outline and start of an #embroidery #portrait I'm making for my fiancée's parents for Christmas. I have made one (1) portrait before this. Will it turn out good??? We'll see. I'm hoping to do this sort of thing for cashola in future.

And yes, I realize the way I sketched the man here makes him look like Shaggy Rodgers.

My good friend, neighbor and occasional catsitter Judit has written a book! It is a work of art and worth checking out, even if you aren't into embroidery or knitting. She worked on the project over the past several years while also battling long covid. It's on presale now and will be out on September 29th.

Hand embroidery of one of the cosmos from the backyard.

#HandEmbroidery #Embroidery #Stitching #Sewing #Art

PInkish and lavendar stitching with white highlights on a linen canvas. Center is dark with gold and brown french knots. Flower is centered on a circular embroidery hoop.

Today, for #SciArtSeptember, I'm sharing one of my favorite pieces: a hand embroidered diagram of a cell. All of the lines are chain-stitched, except the nucleus which is french knots and straight stitches.

You can't tell in this photo, but this thread glows in the dark.

I also do this pattern in colorful threads.

First embroidery class completed! #Embroidery #FiberArts #Loomscrolling

A photo of my first completed embroidery project, still on the working hoop. It's a cute design with a bunny sniffing flowers.

IN OTHER #sewing NEWS...

HERRINGBONE: the original zigzag stitch.

i don't know why i thought it’d be a good idea to hand-sew a cardigan with a rayon knit i was not feeling so hot about yet here i am hating the fabric but proud of using the #embroidery techniques i’ve learned into garment sewing

as with everything i try to wing without a pattern, this has taken me waaay too long to remember: to tame rolling knits, herringboning twill tape around the edge is the OG stabilizer

am showing how am stabilizing an unruly rayon knit edge by using cotton twill tape.

i first attached it to the edge with a running stitch on the side it is rolling towards. the i fold it back and hold it in place with a herringbone stitch, which, basically creates triangles up and down the tape.

this securly keeps it in place without rigidity. it reinforces the seam allowance but still allowing the knit to move and do its thing
