Data preservation is a niche interest of mine, and one of the things I've been thinking about has been storing written data long-term, since paper tends to wear out and break down easily so writing things onto cloth is a little more effective, but prints wear out, so you have to embroider them. So now I'm thinking about making a bunch of #ESP32 and other circuit diagram schematics and then screen printing them, making a #quilt and #embroidering over the screen printed lines. 🪡

I don't sew. I've never made a quilt. I know people that have and have seen the amount of effort and time that goes into that and I know I'm not going to finish this, but I still really like the idea.

I’ll never forget those eyes: At our #museum animation, a five-year-old girl watched me #embroidering - shyly from a distance. I encouraged her to come and have a closer look. As she came curiously, I let her feel my fabric: ‘Look, I’m embroidering #moss! It’s knobbly like real moss.’
Her eyes in her happy face were the very picture of awe and curiosity about #nature and #embroidery. Her Grandpa: 'Can we come again?!' That's what many of our visitors do.

Oh and I'm #embroidering BTW. This is going to hopefully be a very cool depiction of a super crunchy screenshot of my sister in a video that came out very weird and beautiful a while ago.

Tomorrow I wanna start another project where I embroider my nephew for his first birthday.

And that's me on my bullshit. Follow for more. ✌️

currently this just looks like a bunch of varied coloured stitches but hopefully we'll be seeing a bit more definition to it by the end of the month...

Can I do even a single embroidery technique cleanly? No. 🙈
Do I still try as many embroidery styles as possible? Hell yes! 😅

So beep beep. Embroidered a bird. 🪶🤷‍♀️

... If you can't decide whether you want to draw with fineliner or embroider - why not try drawing with thread? 🤷‍♀️ 🖤🪡🧵

As "threatened" a few days ago, I have started embroidering and this is my first little piece of work. I like it very much. And even with needle and thread my little, always suppressed goth heart shines through.  😅
