A thread for me to show off my stress-crafting. I& #39;ve been doing embroidery, mostly fairly small embroidery pieces. These are all freehand, I& #39;m not using patterns. Inspired by some photos I& #39;ve seen online of landscape embroidery that are really WAY more impressive, tbh.
The first piece I did, in September. Looking at this now, the thing I& #39;m probably happiest with is the texture of the French knots for the "vague suggestion of flowers" near the bottom.
My next piece: Mount Fuji.
I was much happier with this one.
I was much happier with this one.
From the beginning of October, a tree with autumn leaves. The best part of this are the falling leaves. Otherwise, I like this while also feeling like I was going for more realism than I hit.
A week later, sunset over water. I should probably get myself a pen that can draw on black fabric, because I would be able to do nice circular suns that actually came out right in my sunrise and sunset images. Also unsatisfying: the reflection lines in the water.
Northern Lights. I am still very happy with this one, even if you probably need the title to know what it& #39;s of.
Another autumn tree. This one looks like a brain, unfortunately.
Another sunrise, or maybe sunset. I like doing sunrises/sunsets because they give me an excuse to use a wide range of colors, and trying out different techniques is fun.
This is supposed to be another sunset. I love how this one came out -- in particular the textures of the different parts of the lanscape.
And my current work-in-progress. Yet another sunset. Really happy with this one. The water isn& #39;t done yet.
I never posted the finished version.
