Pigeons deserved a pocket pal designs!
Pocket pals are little felt plushie companions I design, hand sew and embroider with my own little hands and a lot of love!
This little guy, and quite a few more designs, are available in my shop!

Had anyone else misused an #embroidery machine for #sewing? #hacking #making
Dear #embroidery fediverse, I recently got the genius/stupid idea to use my embroidery machine to stitch #scouting badges. It was quite clear to me that alignment would be crucial — and I guess that I was right. Any idea how to improve this (frame or stitching type)? (More photos in my next toot!)

Starting on the characters' faces with the mouth and cheeks of the pear hat girl. Mouth: single strand hot pink. Cheek spots: double strand pale pink.
Petite broderie printanière offerte à une amie. J’ai envie de mettre un peu de joie printanière dans mon week-end travaillé !

First bit of goldwork done on the Hand&Lock Bernadette Banner kit 
this little star took ages despite only being the size of my nail. Each bit of gold check is cut to just a couple of millimetres. It was finicky as fuck and torture on the eyes. I loved every minute of it

An experiment in combining separate embroideries into one piece.

My second new work, framed and ready for the @peakdistrictartisans #SpringArtFair next week.
I know Mastodon is a worldwide place but it would be lovely to see some #MastoPeeps IRL so if you're anywhere near Buxton 12/13 Apr do come and say hello

What I haven’t really been writing about on my page, are the materials I use. These pictures are a part of my collection of embroidery threads. I’ve been making small embroidery pieces over the last years. But it never really became more than that until last year. Before I just had a little bit of thread and embroidery wasn’t my creative medium. The last year, embroidery has become an essential part of my life and I started collecting thread. 
I was so lucky to inherit a collection from my partners great grandmother. It is such beautiful threads from the 50-60’s. I’ve also been lucky to find threads in second hand shops, and I found a little collection of threads with small notes attached about what projects the threads were used for - and it was projects from 1972. I enjoy how the history in these threads are embedded into my work of contemporary embroidery.
It is also important for me to make art of mostly reused/ secondhand materials. The same I do with my collages. Eco awareness and my responsibility is also a big part of my creative practice and life in general.

I'm open to recommendations for magnifiers - I'm currently wading through lists of the same Amazon products and I'd rather know what people actually use and like. #embroidery #fiberarts
Started working on a sampler to brush up on my #embroidery skills (before starting a real project) and....owwwww. My eyesight was a LOT better the last time I did this. I might need a magnifier.
On the other hand! French knots are not as awful as they used to be. Victory!
Travail en cours…
Je partage même si pas fini, parce que des fois j’ai peur de gâcher en cours de route.

I repurposed some scraps of green polar fleece to make little fairy books. These are still in progress. There’s a tree in a park in Oakland, California that I will be bringing them to as an offering to the fairies. #FairyBooks #Embroidery #Crafting #FairyOffering
New blackwork bookmark in progress~ I decided to make one for myself, for the year of the snake.
Snake and scale pattern designed by me, flowers adapted from a border in a book by Ilse Altherr (I think the second one).

Final update of the #hitomezashi #sashiko pattern I was making for this patch pocket. Now the next thing to do is actually making the patch pocket and attaching it.
Trying to learn embroidery so I've been messing around with thread tension to see what effect it has. Finding out by experimentation! I definitely learned what too much does 
I also messed around with changing thread colors to get a feel for that process when embroidering. I'm having fun, this is neat.
I’ve begun working on my April Let’s Play mini quilt - These are the colours inspiring me this month!

Five years ago, I was starting on the #AmarnaFamilyGroup in #OrNué, centring my spiral over Akhenaten's heart to suggest that his devotion to the Aten was a genuine revelation and not a political manoeuvre.
