A Practical Magic-inspired hoop I made as part of the Secret Spring art exchange hosted by lovetoembroider on IG!

Hoop 3 in the series. These have been challenging to make (both emotionally and skill-wise because I’m not used to stitching on cardstock), but they’ve also helped me process feelings of worry and sadness. #embroidery #mixedmeida #embroideryart #embroideryartist #fiberartist #handmade

A piece I made for one of @ajpritchett.bsky.social ‘s Stitchtober challenges. (I was overambitious with the details and ended up finishing it much later than October 😅.) I love the dark fantasy look of this one. 🗡️🛡️ #embroidery #embroideryart #embroideryartist #handmade #slowart #fiberart

Second hoop in my playing card series.

Using this fun thrifted fabric to gain more sewing machine practice. I started with a bandana and realized I had enough leftover to try my hand at a small tote bag (with a little embroidery). They’re not perfect, but I had a ton of fun working on them!

One of the nice things about being on a new platform is I can share some past projects if I don’t have any new ones 😅. This was a Buffy hoop I made as part of a secret art exchange last year (hosted by lovetoembroider on IG)!

A new hoop that’s a bit different from my usual horror movie/gothic fiction/Halloween-inspired style. Sometimes the real world is scary enough.
I have an older card deck that’s missing a few cards, so I figured I’d repurpose it for art projects.

A mixed media hoop inspired by the movie Nope, featuring OJ Haywood, Lucky, and Jean Jacket. 🌥️ 🛸 I used a combo of painting and hand embroidery on fabric from an old set of sheets with a cowboy-themed print. #embroidery #nope #embroideryart #handmade #fiberart #embroidered

This was an embroidery project I made as part of a mythical creatures-themed art collab a few years ago. It was inspired by selkie folklore, and I thought it would be fun to take some photos of it at the beach!

Embroidering over the past several has led to me wanting to expand my sewing skills in general. I’d like to gain more experience making and mending/altering clothes. Here is a pair of jeans I hemmed recently. I added a red trim and decorated the pockets as well! #sewing #embroidery #mending

Honestly, I’ve been struggling to work on creative projects over the past several weeks. But I did crochet this bandana (pattern by Yarn Stash With Marching North over on YT). Just on a whim, I added the embroidered eye. It kept me busy from doomscrolling for a while. #crochet #embroidery #fiberart

One of my favorite pieces I stitched last year: a custom hoop based on the painting Ophelia by John Everett Millais.

Sharing a piece I made a while back. This one was inspired by one of my favorite LOTR characters, Eowyn! 💪⚔️

Two Bride of Frankenstein embroidery hoops I made for a Classic Horror art collab in October! I tried to create an orange-to-purple ombré look for the first hoop. The second one is a simpler outline design but was just as fun to make.

A Nosferatu-inspired piece I made recently using a combo of painting and hand embroidery! #art #embroidery #handmade #embroideryart #mixedmedia #nosferatu #watercolor #fiberart

Since this is my first post on here, I thought I’d share a little about myself. 🧵🪡 My name is Amanda. I started embroidering in 2020 and opened my online shop, Hoops and Horror, in 2021. I specialize in spooky handmade embroidery, although I love working with other styles and mediums as well!
