It’s #WorldEmbroideryDay ! I make #SciArt #embroidery of #anatomy and #symptomatology. After I got sick with #MECFS in 2015 I started stitching as a more restorative creative practice than my previous music and theatre work.
#WorldEmbroideryDay was started in 2011 by Skåne Sy-d, a local group of Broderiakademin, the Swedish Embroiderer’s Guild, as a call to recognize embroidery as a way to bring forth peace and creative understanding.
