I made this so that I could hang it in my SpongeBob themed bathroom however it only just occurred to me that it might be a bad place for something I spent a great deal of time on. I'm worried the steam from the shower will cause mold growth but I don't actually know so I was hoping for some personal experiences if anyone has any.

I stitched a picture of my eye and decided to add what it looks like to me during the beginning of a migraine attack. Chronic migraines are awful, 0/10, do not recommend.

This oldie is always a hit this time of year.

Thread painting my friends border terrier for a Christmas gift. How am i doing?

Can you tell who it belongs to?

First attempt at embroidery, so it’s super messy. But also SUPER satisfying.

This one is a Christmas present for my grandma. (2026 is the year of bringing back homemade gifts) Remind me to never do another butterfly again. Filling in the black around the white took FOREVER and was so tedious but I'm very happy with how this one turned out.

I hand embroidered this skeletal leaf with floral wire, thread, fabric and dyes using stumpwork techniques. The veins are embroidered and the rest is fabric. This is part of a larger project I'm working on, but I felt it was too pretty not to share by itself. I've made several leaves like this one and while the process is always the same, I love that each one turns out a bit different. This one was dyed to give it a slightly frosted/icy look.

About a week ago I posted my first piece. Now this is somewhat of an update on what I’ve been working on the past 5 days. It’s a kit from hobby lobby WITH instructions this time (last one didn’t have any). I guess this is my first REAL piece. I’m happy with the outcome but I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to do the curly lazy daisy stitch. If anyone has some tips on how to do it, i would gladly appreciate it. I tried my best lol but gave up half way through a flower. I’m very happy with it. Proud of myself 😌

I aspire to be like basically everyone in this group, but I have a lot of practice and learning to do. This is the first project I’ve completed after a little practice. Already started my second and hoping it will be better!

I started this pup as a gift for my mom a year and a half ago but didn't like how the fur around his collar was turning out so I put it down and never picked it back up. Unfortunately earlier this week she had to put him down and I tried to push through and finish so I could send it to her to (finally) have.

I don't love how the bottom half turned out, but I don't really know what to do to change it either. I'm a beginner, it's my third pet I've done. She doesn't know about it and will love it either way. I'm just self critical and looking for possible feedback for improving him.

Be nice, I'm sensitive 😂😂

Are there any companies that are pretty good on dupes for DmC because I do not want to give them my business because of you know the whole HP thing. Are there any safe companies that anyone recommends? They don't even have to be complete dupes but just a good color variety? I'm very very new to embroidery and I don't know reliable sources of floss.

I am looking for resources on how to do historical embroidery resources. I can find lots of books on modern embroidery techniques that explain how to do modern projects. I can find lots of books that talk about historical embroidery and how those pieces fit in an art context of historical work. I cannot find resources on how to do historical embroidery techniques to do period appropriate work.

Anyone know where to look?

Gouache and Stump Embroidery on handmade paper, mounted in a handmade custom float frame.

There's room for improvement, but I'm happy with the result! Took about 4 hours

I’m specifically looking for patterns from Jászárokszállás or around Lake Balaton, but any traditional Hungarian patterns or clear designs would be super. If you have any information about fiber art from those areas (in English) I would love to see/hear it, please! I’m told that the flower and colour combinations can tell stories about place and people, but I’m struggling to find much information about it.

My husband’s family is from that area and I’d like to make something for my MIL.

I took a break for a few days so I could read my book, but i finally finished it. I'll have to get some fusible interfacing to protect the back, but it has some wonky charm!

i hope y'all enjoy this project even though embroidery is just one element of it. I've been inspired by all the posts here that use embroidery to add texture.

the backstory/sad part: my uncle's health is getting to the point where he is in his room most of the time. the assisted living place he's at is nice but the art in his room left something to be desired so my aunt asked if I could make something for him. I wanted to make something worthy of being with him for the rest of his life, and eventually I decided I wanted to honor his time in nature and love for fish with a piece centered around rivers and salmon runs.

the technical details: the base painting is an acrylic pour. the land is formed using a reptile substrate mix with added reptile sand (all sanitized), then sifted and mixed with mod podge. applying it was messy. I made the fish with sculpey, painted with acrylic paint, sealed with varnish, then coated with black eyeshadow to tone it all down a bit. they're attached with E-6000, and the fully out of the water one is supported with a glued in thumb tack.

the embroidery is just separated ply of various green colors, grouped with 2-4 different colors. I tied a knot in the end, ran it through the painting back to front, then trim grass to desired length. at the end I used fabric glue to secure all the knots to the canvas. not the most complicated embroidery but it plays a really important part in the piece so hopefully it still belongs here

I'm really proud of how it turned out and both my uncle and aunt loved it so much. I'm excited to go visit him and see it in situ.
