Would you like one of mine?

Another postcard. I have no idea. I just made it. If you want answers you will have to make an appointment with the voices in my head. #embroidery

A hand stitched postcard with a black and white eye in the center of a faded pastel colored background. It has springs as eyelashes? There is a blue eye bead in each corner and many round beads decorating the empty background space. The word “believe” is in the upper right corner.

Bad hair day scarecrow postcard. Handmade. #handembroidery

I found someone’s lost hair extensions and decided to make a wig for a scarecrow. The scarecrow wears a black hat, and orange shirt and grey trousers. There is a pumpkin at the base of his post, and a Red Crescent moon over his head.

Thank you

I love that! I have been hoping to inspire folks to do something with all those lovely old costume jewelry pieces. I can’t wear them all, but I love being able to display and look at them.
Thank you

This looks fabulous!

Finished another piece of art today.
What do you think?
I am calling it « MY Great Aunt Exploded » (because this is what happens when the older generations start to die off and they don’t clean out their jewelry boxes.)

A piece of mixed media embroidery in an oval hoop depicting a vase filled with hand embroidered stump work leaves and a LOT of costume jewelry flowers in multiple colors and sizes and shapes.

This is my current work in progress because the number of tools I find on the side of the road is confounding.

#handwork #embroidery

A 14 inch embroidery hoop. The background fabric is printed with black, white, grey, and pale green splotches. The picture is of 3 moth like creatures made from tiny wrenches chasing a lilac colored will o’ the wisp. There is a flame sprouting from the will o’ the wisp’s head.

Beautiful work!

Project finished!
#embroidery #artsky

16 inch embroidery hoop. The background is a mottled black and blue print. Embroidered is a depiction of a stone bridge, with a giant thorned flower with yellow and orange petals and with a cat’s eye as a center. On the other side is a creepy yellow figure wearing a black hood and wearing a dress covered in body part charms. The two figures are staring each other down.

More progress on #wip #textileart #handembroidery

This is what happens when you leave your socks and golf club covers abandoned by the roadside. They become a haunted thing…
