I'm having a ridiculously inspirational time creating right now. It feels good. Seriously. It's healing. Here's the progress today. Yep, still **in progress**... Hand embroidery, TPU, PLA, 3d pen, acrylic, faux pearls. Eye of Mason Alexander Park in Cabaret.

Today in projects that remind me I really need to see an eye doctor. #embroideryart

Progress is going well I think. It looks creepy rn but TRUST THE PROCESS. Eyes and lips come LAST. Also fixing the nose. The nose is the hardest part for me.

Well, second to the eye strain and visual static that happens when I stare at denim too long. That didn't happen last time I did this... so... I should really get them eyes checked.

The ancient art of tatreez is the eloquent embroidery art of Palestine that contains a wealth of meaning in patterns and colors, history is told through it, as are personal stories.
