Sticker material maybe 🦋

And this last one is to show my finger for scale and to point to some tiny march plants XD

This took so much time to make, but it was so worth it. I loved seeing the map slowly appear on the shirt as I embroidered. And I did bring the difficulty on myself, because I was trying to make each individual hill and mountain match the original map. (As much as I could without going insane that is.)

As an example, here is a comparison of Dol Guldur:

(This is why you should NOT let a precisionist do embroidery btw)

Overall, it was a simple project. I only used a total of four stitches for the entire map: a split stitch for the outline, a french knot (for the trees), a running stitch (for everything except filling in the mountains and hills), and a variant of the satin stitch, adjusted to fill in the mountains and hills. The hardest part of the project was honestly the amount of time it took.

And if anyone is curious, here is the map I used for reference:

"Ser Jaime?" Even in soiled pink satin and torn lace, Brienne looked more like a man in a gown than a proper woman. "I am grateful, but . . . you were well away. Why come back?"A dozen quips came to mind, each crueler than the one before, but Jaime only shrugged. "I dreamed of you," he said.
