Some photos I took recently to help with some more bird patches. I did get more birds (I saw my first Marsh Wren!) but these photos turned out the best. It's like they know. #birds

Princess Mononoke hoop, both framed in a 5 inch hoop. Only project I’ve been working on for so long, happy to be done!
#embroidery #studioghibli #art

In the bottom hoop is Ashitaka, on the ground with the knife at his throat, looking up at San. An embroidered hoop of San from Princess Mononoke. She holds a knife made from a metal can, and it goes from her hoop to the hoop below that you can just see the top off. An embroidered hoop of Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke. He’s lying on the ground looking up with a knife at his throat, which is made of a can.
