Took some photos for a blended sky tutorial yesterday.. another update for this project happening soon! 🪡👾✨

Kirby and the Forgotten Land ~ 89 hours in.

…getting there. Can you see where we’re going with this yet? 😉

#embroidery #stumpwork #kirby

66 hours into this Kirby piece and I haven’t even begun to blend the sky yet.. This is definitely going to be my largest project yet! 🪡🙈

First we block, then we blend.. 🎨🪡

Sharing this here before I start my next project. I turned a regular floating shelf into a 3D embroidery shadowbox 🪡✨

Creating #stumpwork without wire today.. 😉✨

I think the 4 leaf cluster looks better/more natural than the 6 leaf cluster, but what do you think? 🧐🍃

I considered making the big cloud fluffy, but honestly I’m loving how smooth my single strand long and short stitches are turning out! 💖☁️

Also, don’t be fooled… this little section took a ridiculously long time to embroider. 😅

Behind the scenes on the start of the big cloud. My long and short stitches are often mistaken for machine embroidery, but I promise everything you see is 100% #handembroidery magic 🪡✨

Sharing an outtake today, because I think it's important to share the things you spent time creating.. even if it feels like repeat content. 💖

An outtake that wasn’t included in today’s IG update for this project. ..Lucy approves of my tiny 8bit Pikachu! ✨

Late night leaf experiments 🍃

Face reveal.. for me and Pikachu! 🙈

This little Pika measures at 1.5 inches and took 20 hours to stitch, but the challenge was so worth it. More to come on this project soon! 😊

My husband & I built a thread inventory tracking app last year & we’re now beginning development on the Project Management portion, BUT WE NEED HELP!

If there’s a feature that you’d love to see, please drop a comment! All shares appreciated to help us gather as many requests as possible! TY 😊💖

Prepped a couple stretcher bars for more leaves the other day. I’ll be starting with the small frame to see if I need to modify the design at all before I move onto the big one.

Can’t wait to see how my green color gradient looks on these leaf clusters! 🍃🎨

If you're new here: I'm building a 3D hand embroidered tree canopy and these are a few of the 84 leaves I just made.. each one took about an hour!

I primarily use Instagram, but I'll try to share some of the behind the scenes here when I can. Enjoy! 🪡🍃
