A rarity for me: some hand-embroidery. Piece a simple download from Sublime Stitching, by an artist named Mark Allen. The piece is fine work, using only two strands of cotton DMC. As per usual here are some EXTREME CLOSEUPS!
I made most of this piece while resting. Hand-embroidery is a useful work to have around for the times one needs to sit and rest. It is different than knitting – and I don’t knit during hot months anyway. That said, hand-embroidery, like knitting, does require night. It isn’t necessarily a good night-time occupation.
The whole piece:
I have about six pieces of hand embroidery stored up, that so far do not have a destination. This is now one of them. All of the pieces would be wonderful on tiny decorative pillows but I kind of think tiny decorative pillows are bullshit!
Greatness!
Thanks, Medr1e!
Yes, tiny decorative pillows are indeed bullshit. Maybe one huge pillow, with all six dudes on it! I love them.
P.S. The guy in the top left is quite intriguing… I can’t figure out if that’s a nose or a weiner, but I like it. The frog is my favorite, I love her.

The pillow wouldn’t be “huge” – this piece is very small. I just took some major closeups. And – as for the top-left fellow, I think it’s a nose-wiener!!! Argh!
If you have any thoughts for what I could make, readers – let me know!
