Hand Made, 2022. 8-10 hours. Secondhand Embroidery Hoop and Fabric. Some of the thread was sourced secondhand too. I don’t normally work with yellow so it was a challenge to come up with a color palette I liked with yellow being the main character instead of a small accent.

This one was gifted to my old roommate who is creative and smart and I love her. #DoNoHarmTakeNoShit #TakeNoShit #DoNoHarm #Embroidery #Sampler #EmbroiderySampler #Quote #Saying #Lettering #SplitStitch #BackStitch #FrenchKnots #WagonWheelStitch #LazyDaisy #Zaydalicious #ZaydaliciousDesigns #WallHanging #Handmade #HomeDecor #Art #WallArt https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKj6t9vmeJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m pretty pleased with the end result and am excited to be developing a new skill I can use to personalize and repair my clothes so they reflect my personality and last longer. Make the 3 Rs into 4 - Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle.

Mermaids with Pink Bubble - Dry Pastel Wall Art. Available in my Etsy store (link in bio). The only piece I’ve done with multiple mermaids. The 4th mermaid piece I did junior year. Something I love about this piece is the extra colors mixed in with the skin tones, particularly in the purple mermaid. It’s lovely. #mermaid #mermaids #pinkmermaid #purplemermaid #pinkhair #purplehair #mermaidhair #pinkbubble #underwaterscene #drypastel #fineart #wallart #pnwartist #beachvibes #beachhousevibes #zaydalicious #zaydaliciousdesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKagD5hMBM/?igshid=4phn7jytvqq

Pregnant Mermaids 9x12 ink illustration paintings. Available in my Etsy shop - link in bio. I like mermaids. They offer a weightlessness in exploring concepts that would otherwise cripple me with trying to get proportions and details right. I want to get back into doing ink wash paintings. I have some ideas that I need to get out into paper. Now if I could only figure out how to keep my cat from stepping on my projects while I’m working on them. #mermaids #pregnant #pregnancy #babybelly #babybump #motherhood #painting #inkpainting #inkillustration #ink #blackandwhiteart #zaydalicious #zaydaliciousdesigns #spiderplant #oldbooks #exploringconcepts #artisticlicense #freeinginspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUcEgMhQhk/?igshid=u9dskuw1edjf

The final repair was close to the cuff on the sleeve. By this point I did not want to do another flower, I had already spent several hours of my Sunday devoted to making this cardigan wearable again and I just wanted to be done. So I just did some leaves - and honestly I think they are my favorite repair. #simple #outline #stitches #embroidery #embroideryleaves #embroiderystitches #splitstitch #outline #upcycle #repair #zaydaliciousdesigns #zaydalicious #cardigan #embroideryonstretchyfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/B_v6EMhBFYi/?igshid=1p38v34s7c2wa
