An embroidered Luna moth on green fabric. The wings are a separate piece and have yet to be inserted into the fabric

Final piece of the stumpwork luna moth. There are birch trees painted on the fabric and the wooden hoop.

Started a stumpwork luna moth a month ago or so. Finally got around to finishing it! The tutorial followed is by @crewelghoul.bsky.social ! I added in the birch painting myself.

Onto the next!

A 1/3 finished cross stitch featuring My Neighbor Totoro characters. The girls are fully stitched, lots of flowers and a tiny bit of Totoro can be seen. Pattern is by WitchyStitch

The very start of a stumpwork luna moth. The wings are printed out and stuck on some green fabric. Wire has also been cut and is ready to be applied. Pattern is by Crewel Ghoul

Found a good stopping point on the biiiig project. And I've been itching to start a stumpwork pattern for ages.

Close up view of a completed set of embroidered bee wings. Materials are metallic and silk threads on interference organza. Still in the embroidery hoop, it will eventually be cut from the organza and posed on a yet to be made beaded bee.

I set of bee wings complete, I set to finish.

I keep thinking of them as "small", but I would hate to meet the giant bee they would fit.

Photo of a work in progress embroidery of four bee wings, the inner veins of a wing embroidered in metallic thread.

Tried again, this time using a silk thread to couch the metallic thread. It's much smoother and sleek looking. I plan on wrapping the outer cotton thread in the same silk too.

Photo of a work in progress embroidery of four bee wings on organza, one with metallic thread for the inner veins of the wing.

I dunno. I tried a metallic thread + it feels bulky. Maybe if I had only used the metallic as the couched thread + something flatter for the thread holding it in place...

It might be too matchy to the organza, too. Bee wing details seem to be more red/brown.

Photo of a piece of interference organza embroidered by couching a wire to follow the outline of bee wings.

Three wing outline wires done, one to go.

I can't tell if my headache is from the intricate sewing or the fact I'm running a low grade fever. I want to use silk over the cotton embroidery thread to create a puffed vein feel... But that might not be realistic to bee wings...
#embroidery #stumpwork

This is so cool! I need to see if I can find any of that bullion wire...

Photo of hand drawn bee wings cut out of paper

Photo of the same bee wings traced twice onto organza, the image mirrored once.

Photo of a single wing couched in 22 gauge wire wrapping the outline, the wire only partially covered as it's kept in place.

So I started. Just focused on wings for now. And couching this wire is so difficult and finicky, we'll see if I actually finish it. 😔

Photo collage of multiple Pinterest images of stump work beaded and embroidered insects, predominantly floofy bees and colorful moths.

Inspo I've been thinking about for years. I have the materials, know the stitching/beading, even have interesting fibers for floof + organza for wings.

For some reason I can't start. Maybe cuz I was so ill when I was first interested, I never saw it as possible?

Where is the best place to buy a DMC 310 cone (a.k.a. the cone of doom)? I want to finally get one, but I'm not sure where? I usually buy from 123stitch. Thought I'd outsource though and see if I get some better places. #crossstitch #embroidery #blackwork #stumpwork #sashiko #threadpainting

Stumpwork embroidery for #TextileTuesday

Memories of a visit to a brilliant exhibition at the Holburne Museum, Bath a few years ago.

#embroidery #stumpwork

The back of a vest with a variety of embroidered details including a dandelion with seed blowing away and a Luna moth

A black light photo of an embroidered Luna moth showing of the glowing moon patterns on the moth’s wings

My Luna moth is finished and attached! The second photo shows off how the little moons on the forewings glow 🌘

I might go back and add a little more to the body but at this point I’m just happy enough to call this part done.
#embroidery #stumpwork #lunamoth

So because I am a creature mage, my vest is going to have critter associations in a lot of places, so for “Air” I’m adding a Luna moth with the dandelions. For as much as I put #embroidery on 3D things, this is my first foray into actual #stumpwork which has been an interesting experience.

Obsessed

Played with more bones the other day for this stumpwork butterfly and added some beads to the bird. I think the beads really add to both.

Needle felting, stumpwork embroidery, traditional embroidery and bead embroidery.

Photo of the front of a hardcover book titled "Stumpwork Embroidery: A Collection Of Fruits, Flowers And Insects For Contemporary Raised Embroidery" by Jane Nicholas Milner Craft Series The text is framed by elaborate stumpwork embroidery of flowers, plants, insects, fruit, and beaded grapes.

Photo from the book of a stumpwork embroidery of a rose, pomegranate, strawberries, fly and a bee.

Received an absolutely gorgeous book on #stumpwork #embroidery. The mixed media artist in me adores everything about taking something flat and adding dimension and shiny bits to create something new.
I'm so excited! But still so new to it all, so it's hard to make what's in my head reality just yet.

…getting there. Can you see where we’re going with this yet? 😉

#embroidery #stumpwork #kirby

Drafted a new piece today! No idea when I'll ever get around to it, but it'll be so cute when I do! The lights are going to come out and around the hoop on the left (cat) side, and maybe one of the cat's arms and his tail will be stumpwork...

66 hours into this Kirby piece and I haven’t even begun to blend the sky yet.. This is definitely going to be my largest project yet! 🪡🙈

I finally finished the Ateez embroidery I’ve been working on since March! I love that it incorporates so many techniques and is just so vibrant and fun! So thankful that I’m still enjoying this crafting hobby after six years!

Finished this bumblebee some time ago, but forgot to post it. Now it's hanging nicely beside the butterfly. I thrifted the frames. #embroidery #stumpwork #crafts #art #textileart #insectart #bumblebee #butterfly
