Thanks! I made it for their Westwood location! I don’t know if it’s still up or not though.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Ending off with a water lily for Pisces. I used beads in this piece to look like water droplets and sell the ripple effect I was going for to make the "stars" of the constellation.

Aquarius (December 20 - February 18)
To make the petals of the Orchid I used a technique called stumpwork that uses wire inside the embroidery to make the pieces come off of the fabric base. One of my main goals with this series as I continued with it was to try new techniques and challenge myself.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
My sign! When I learned that carnations are associated with Capricorn, I had to do a green carnation (IYKYK). I also incorporated more of my linework style into this piece. This is one of the only pieces in this series I still have, along with the Scorpio one.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
A dandelion on a gradient purple background that I made using watercolour pigments. I has also gotten into felting around this time and used a felting technique to make the fluff of the dandelion.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
To challenge myself a tried out the thread-painting technique for the first time to make this Chrysanthemum, and it took way longer than expected. But it really informed the style of embroidery that I now do.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
The first piece I made in the series, using embroidered roses to literally make the Libra constellation. This was an excuse to try out a new technique for roses a learned from a fellow embroider, and then turned into a whole series.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
A hanging basket of morning glories, once again, in the shape of the Virgo constellation.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
I made this one as a complement to Cancer and included a beaded sun alongside the marigold bush. With the flowers, again, in the shape of the Leo constellation.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Ruled by the moon I included a silver moon in between the blossoms of Larkspur, as well as stitching the flowers as the stars of the Cancer constellation. Which I did for many of the pieces in this series.
