Haha it's stitchcraft! 🧙‍♀️🪡✨️🔥 (The mushroom has an inner armature that gives it support 😄)

Thank you! 🐌

Thanks! I usually try to make them life-sized but this one is scaled larger to fit the frame (4 inch moth in a 5 inch frame)

Omg yessss. If a bride wants to commission a froggy dress, I'd be game!

Absolutely. I'm working on some soft dewy moss to go with it as well. It'll be a perfectly cozy place for a nap 😴

Thank you so much!

Yup! It's made with thread, watercolors, and lutradur, a mixed media (fabric/paper) sheet

I feel like a goblin haha.. I just want a whole forest floor of embroidered leaves now 😭

I'm actually writing a full pattern for it! 🐸💕

It was a little fiddly, and it's definitely not perfect. I did a digital mockup for the pattern so I could be sure the two sides would align and then it was mostly just about coloring within the lines 😅 (it's a little harder to make sure the padded side does not overflow it's boundaries)

That's pretty much it! This is not a true double-sided embroidery like the traditional Chinese suzhou technique. That would not be possible with this type of padded stumpwork unfortunately. Instead the body was embroidered separately before I attached it to the underside view.

haha now I can't unsee it.. the little 🌿 garnish 😂
