I've had this idea for a long time and finally got to try it out! This piece is six panels of acrylic sheets that I layered my painting on.
I love diaromas and gemstones that feels like tiny worlds. It was REALLY hard to get a photo of it with all the reflections.
I still need to make the frame!

I'm about to head out to visit my Husband's family for a couple days and I'm setting up a travel project. So I thought I'd go through some of my previous pieces to spark inspiration and I wanted to share them with all of you!
All projects are designed and stitched by me.

These larger pieces can be so intimidating. Even though I have designed and finished other large pieces it's always a surprise each time I finish them 😅

Sometimes a project grabs me and won't let go until it's run it's course. I finished the stitching on these two butterflies now I need to back and bead them!
A group of crows is a murder, flamingos is a flamboyance, what is a group of butterflies?

Finished it! Embroidered, beaded, gorgeous.
I kinda want to make another one, this always happens to me when I start a big project 😅
I'm just glad I can turn my anxiety into something so pretty.

Oops. Well I guess this was my next project 😅
I was feeling anxious and heading out to a DnD game so I made a tiny project, took me three days to finish stitching. It isn't actually done yet, but the embroidery part is.

Starting my newest project, it will be my largest piece and the first time I'll have used this kind of frame. I hand drew the design.

In between breathing exercises to keep the panic at bay I am trying to make art.
It's all too much and I don't know how I will get through.

To get good at something, you have to allow yourself to be bad at it first.

I am so good at having anxiety attacks, but I don't think that's what I meant 😓

Community Ask! A little kid in my life needs oral surgery asap. The in network dentists don't have appointments available for a few months, and waiting will cause more damage. Please help if you can, and share if you can 💚
