Art Project Complete
Hand-embroidered Society Against Evil patch, using DMC thread 676 "Light Old Gold" and brown fabric. Measures 11.5 cm across (a little bigger than your palm). Overall, 12 hours to complete, split across three days. 6-strand satin stitch over top chain stitch, forming a padded satin stitch to give it a more embossed look.
Fun fact: though the specific symbol used by SAE does not appear to be an existing apotropaic symbol, it does seem to be inspired by the symbols of the planets and the seals in the Lesser Key of Solomon. The SAE wiki originally claimed it was an "actual occult symbol," but I was unable to find any evidence of that fact, and the entry has been fixed.
