#embroidery thread

I ran out of greens a couple times on the leaf insect, so I had to gradually incorporate different shades. I'm glad I did though, since it gave more dimension to the segments. <|:] 𖦹 *٭ 𓆣 𖢥 𓆣٭ * 𖦹

This is madness. It's all over the place. I'm going crazy.

The embroidery floss collection is coming along nicely

I realized I could 3d print a lucet fork instead of going out to buy one and its working perfectly! Of course I would prefer a nice wood one but ill happily make do with what I have. Im doing a pretty loose braid here because I want to use this silver cord to embroider onto my headpiece for renfair and I think its coming out beautifully.

Fixing up some jeans i never wore because of its massive holes

Using what I've got, since I don't have a rigid heddle this small, to make something fantastic!
