I don't know why I ever thought working on such a big hoop would be a good idea, but after six months of work it is finally done. #threadpainting

I keep forgetting to mention that there is a new #textileart group on fedigroups. You have to be following in order to post to it. I'm using it and I hope all my fellow #textileartist s do similar

One of my most ambitious #embroidery designs! It was inspired by a light house I saw while on a cruise a couple of years ago and then a sunset I saw a couple of years later. I love how all of the colors came together! The pattern is available with step-by-step instructions in my etsy shop! https://evergreensunstudios.etsy.com/listing/4343333943/sunset-lighthouse-hand-embroidery

Hair is taking forever to fill in. I’ve started embroidering during meetings to help it pass. Once I’m done it, I get to start doing stumpwork leaves!!

#WIPWednesday the lighting is much better for pictures in my office than at home, so I wanted to make sure to grab a progress pic before the end of my short work week. Do I or don’t I want to add beads to the tufted chair? #embroidery #threadpainting

Fixed her wonky updo and added freckles and beauty marks! This still isn’t a self portrait, I almost always give my characters my neck mole. #embroidery #wip #threadpainting
