#stitchventure

I thought I would share one of my favourite embroideries that I have stitched,my Turquoise Beetle. I loved stitching him as it's my favourite colour. I used one strand of stranded cotton, a mix of DMC and Anchor. He is a bit of a beast as he is the size of my palm and after I finished him I added a few layers of carpet felt to the mount board under his body to round him out. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #damngoodstitch #britishstitchers #beetleembroidery #beetleart #threadpainting #needlepainting #insectembroidery #insectart #nicegirlsneedleclub #embroiderydesign #IHaveThisThingWithThread #allthecolors #needleworksociety #embroiderymypassion #besthandmadeembroidery #embroideryinstaguild #craftsposure #textileoftheday #peinturealaiguille #stitchventure #rokoko #wearethemakers #modernmaker #threadincommon borduren #wemakecollective #pinturadeagulha #heytheremaker #exposeme #tadaan #becreativewithworkbox https://www.instagram.com/p/B_13tcAgQw9/?igshid=53j29vuufm0x

Adding gold thread pips to a luscious silk floss embroidered strawberry. Notice how I am crossing over a stitch so that the gold does not disappear into the stitching, I am also using a large needle to allow the gold to slip through the fabric and embroidery smoothly, without dragging. A project from my silk shading book. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #threadpainting #silkshading #needlepainting #silkflossembroidery #strawberryembroidery #silkembroidery #embroiderytutorial #embroiderylesson #embroiderydesign #heytheremaker #embroiderybook #crowoodpress #inisewlation #isewlation #devereyarns #britishstitchers #stitchventure #ihavethisthingwiththread #creativityfound #makersmovement #britcraft #heritagecrafts #makersgonnamake #stitchedmodern #wearethemakers #exposeme #pinturadeagulha #handmadeisbest #threadincommon https://www.instagram.com/p/CAX2Ndkgfhy/?igshid=1qq3p5ufjrkrm
