I have aphantasia. On the rare occasion that I "see" something in my mind's eye, it's gone in seconds. This was the only time in my life that I could draw the idea fast enough to capture it. It's so simple, yet means so much to me.

I made these back when my hands and neck could still handle doing embroidery for long periods. I was a little obsessed with french knots.
