The first book cover I ever embroidered was Lord of Scoundrels by the incomparable Loretta Chase. It has opened up a lot of cool doors for me this far πŸ₯° and I've talked to a ton of amazing people all because of fabric arts!

"There were over 10k-20k [Black people] that lived in London during the time of Jane Austen. The number has been estimated to be as high as 30k across England, Scotland, & Ireland. With less than 28 dukes during that time period, who were you more likely to run into, a duke, or a person of color?"

Text states: I don't know what publishing and distribution in the age of romance censorship looks like, but I do know that it is easy for an American to set up a business in NL. Research the Dutch American friendship treaty. Perhaps one could set up a home base.
Also, i know nothing about publishing. What I do know is NL likes freedom of the press, money, and responsible and reasonable attitudes toward sexual behavior

So my post about the Dreaming of You embroidery says "Part 1..."
Part 2 is in the thread itself. I don't know how to use this app yet.

Now I understand why my parents never learn new technology and have their kids set up the printer for them.

Here is how I did the hair! It is turkey stitch plus curling the thread. Curl it in the same manner in which you curl ribbon πŸŽ€

I think we're slowly filtering elsewhere. I'm going to crosspost everything. For example, I'll post a reel on Pixelfed and IG, but in IG stories, I will link my Pixelfed "reel". Hopefully that would direct others to pixelfed.
We can always share our Bluesky post screencaps in IG stories with links
