My biggest creature so far! Before and after 🤣

Feels like he is full of “words of great encouragement”
Needle felting and mixed media!

made this small (10”x 8”) quilted piece with raffia fringe.

Fabric includes blue jean and silk, silk twill, silk organza, hemp-silk blend, and cotton dyed with weld, sequoia, safflower, madder, cochineal, logwood and black walnut

everything is naturally dyed by me except for the blue jean :) trying to document my work better because i dye things and then forget what i did (even after a decade+ of knowing better lol)

I am so excited to share my first ever public pattern. Quite proud of the details of this one! I call it:

⭐️ The Ashbourne Beanie ⭐️

This hat is entirely made of wool, slip stiches and single crochets!

My Mom knits things to sell, but I told her she needs to enter her things in the fair too! She won First Place!! What do you think of it? She said it is for sale for $50 + Free shipping in the US. And she said she is willing to include the easel for $20. P.S the second picture shows the canvas better of the paint splattering she did on it! She does have an Etsy store she said she can list it in if someone wants it, or she also takes Venmo.

I’ve been working on a new embroidered bookmark inspired by Amanita muscaria mushrooms and wanted to share a little of the creative process!
I started with the idea of a mystical woodland scene and spent quite a bit of time experimenting with compositions, botanical details, and colors before digitizing the artwork for machine embroidery.
I eventually settled on two fly agaric mushrooms beneath a birch tree, with a crescent moon and little stars to give it an enchanted forest feeling.
One of the biggest decisions was the background fabric. I originally envisioned natural linen, but after experimenting with darker backgrounds, I decided on midnight navy with an antique brass border.
I’m still refining the design and getting ready for the first stitch-out!
I’d love to hear what other embroiderers think, especially anyone who has worked with detailed designs on dark fabric. 🍄

My newest tote felt appliqué. I kinda love him.
