Thank you!!

I finished this piece!

I got a painting commission done and I am delivering it today. While I haven't felt like I could paint I've been beading these collage pieces as gifts for friends. These three are finished now and gifted so I'm working on a new piece for myself.
Always making art- art keeps me alive. #beautiful

A work in progress video of a necklace I just finished beading.
I just need to back it and wrap it as a surprise gift for a friends birthday.

Thank you! I really wanted to capture the movement and shape of the clouds and offer so respite for the eyes after the horizontal lines of the sky and oceans 💚

Photo is a close up angled view at work in progress embroidery of a lighthouse, framed in flowers and a colorful sunset sky. The lighthouse is stitched in the colors of the non binary flag.

Stitch by stitch, strand by strand.
I am both in love with the colors and overwhelmed by what's left to do.

Thank you so much 💚 online hugs are appreciated!

Today has been tough so I'm hiding here building this place stitch by stitch.

I've had this idea for a long time and finally got to try it out! This piece is six panels of acrylic sheets that I layered my painting on.
I love diaromas and gemstones that feels like tiny worlds. It was REALLY hard to get a photo of it with all the reflections.
I still need to make the frame!

Finished the design of my travel piece! I drew it directly into the fabric with a pencil. I haven't decided if I'll fill in the background or not. If I do I'll add a starry sky.

Before I set this down for the weekend here is the update on this piece.

I'm about to head out to visit my Husband's family for a couple days and I'm setting up a travel project. So I thought I'd go through some of my previous pieces to spark inspiration and I wanted to share them with all of you!
All projects are designed and stitched by me.

Constantly inspired by my garden. Also infuriated, annoyed, and confused. It's a whole range of feelings over here between the tomatoes and the green beans 😅

Work in progress on my latest piece, designed, hand drawn, and stitched by me.
There is soooo much to do still.

Thank you so much!

The paper garden grows! I've put off all other art while working on this project, because of its tight deadline. I only have a little under two weeks left before the ceremony!

Thank you 💚

Work in progress Wednesday.
I'm nearly done with the clouds. So close...so here comes another project 😅 I am making flowers for a vow renewal ceremony next month!

These larger pieces can take me years to finish. It feels good to see progress, though the project is daunting I feel accomplished when they are done.
I have finished three large pieces and it surprises me still.

Making progress. This part of the project is great, I can really see it developing and every skien of thread brings more definition.

Newest work in progress shot. It takes me forever, and I'm not great at updating. But here it is.

Work in progress Wednesday
These larger pieces can be so intimidating. Even though I have designed and finished other large pieces it's always a surprise each time I finish them 😅

Work in progress Wednesday number 2.
I am making progress. These big projects are challenging but I feel so accomplished when I'm done.

*I've finished all of them.
I need more tea clearly 😅🦋

I'm finished all of them 🦋
#beautifulthings #fiberart #embroidery #butterfly #beadwork

I love these colors and textures!!

Oooh a kaleidoscope, flutter, or a rabble!! I think I like flutter or kaleidoscope best...rabble sounds like a bar crawl crew- actually that's hilarious 😂

Now do I set up a new embroidery and color map for another butterfly or do I finish these two?
