#microembroidery

Oh my gosh I have so so many projects at all times (it’s the undiagnosed/unmedicated adhd sjsjdhshshsh) but the big one occupying a lot of my brain rn is an embroidery journal, where you do a piece of microembroidery once a day FOR A YEAR

It’s a huge challenge but it’s so so fun and rewarding. I am. Like a full month behind lmao BUT IT’S OKAY I KEEP A LIST

I got some fresh photos for u :3

This is the full 14” hoop. January’s borders are in blue, February’s are in pink. For scale, that’s my thumbnail that’s visible on the left.

Here are some of my fave individual squares, just because:

In order of appearance, left to right, these are: Elmo ART meme, a unicorn’s horn with a 20 and a 1 in the corners, a micro portrait of my purple tiefling Winter (he is in profile, facing left), a tiny ps5 controller with a ❤️ on the touchpad, a micro portrait of my teal tiefling Hope (in profile, facing right), a teeny bird, a lit torch, and Gale Dekarios’ Netherese Orb mark with a teal heart in the middle

Each one has a reason I picked it, and it’s all in the list I keep for reference. Originally I was thinking of making it a pillow when I was done, but I like the big hoop so much I might just mount it in one! I’d probably upgrade to a 14.5” or 15” hoop tho, give the borders a little more room to breathe.

Not too bad, but could be better. The floss was of subpar quality, and the pattern could be more defined and have wider margins, I feel like it barely fits in the pendant frame. This was a kit, however, so I just used the materials provided. Will do better in the future, if I even decide to do it again (my eyes did NOT thank me for this).
