An experiment in combining separate embroideries into one piece.

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.

Any Q*Bert fan around here ?

Little experiment. Combining freehand machine embroidery with knot stitch.

Currently on the hoop.

Throwing (well, carefully pinning) ideas at the wall - hoping something sticks.

Work in progress on another lichen freehand machine embroidery piece.

Very much enjoying these red threads.
