Hand embroidered, single strand DMC cotton and Devere silks. 73 colors and one month of work. This is a Himalayan monal whose picture I took myself at work, and I'm beyond stoked with how this came out. #handembroidery

She's done! 1.5 months, 71 colors(73 if you count the Gutterman spools), single strand #handembroidery . This is Puteri, a 1.5 year old sumatran tiger at the San Diego Safari Park! My first two tiger portraits were, coincidentally, of her parents. I'll be sharing comparisons with those soon!

Back with another update on this #handembroidery piece! I really only had the energy to do the ear today but I'm sooo close to being done... I won't have a lot of time to work on it over the next week, but maybe I'll have this done in two.

Another update on the princess! I'm stoked I really feel like it's moving now! I'm loving how the two sides of her face are interacting with the color palettes I'm using. #handembroidety #fiberarts

Put in 4ish hours on this today. Starting on the ruff, filled the snout, and fixed some areas that were bothering me. This is tricky because I have to work in a specific order, in layers basically, for it to look natural. Goal is to work on that chest and shoulder next so I can fill it out "forward"

Anyway I stood beneath a 110 year old fig tree, walked the art district from studio to studio, spoke to artists, bought art, went to museums, and finished it off with some delicious fish tacos and a marg to myself. San Diego was where I learned to LOVE my own company and that still stands

Man. It doesn't matter how much I check the boxes of what I want to do, how much I have enjoyable experiences I will ALWAYS feel like I didn't appreciate things enough. I wish I knew where that mindset comes from. Is it greed? Not wanting things to end?

Memory is a wild thing. This morning we got up before dawn because jetlag and walked down for coffee. Walking around this neighborhood in the dark,morning chill, nearly knocked me off my feet. I spent 4 years walking to a job that killed me in this cold dark

I lived in San Diego at the wrong time in my life, because I have never appreciated this view as much as I do right now. Hello west coast, how I've missed you ❤️

Progress on Puteri! This is my last bit of work on it for about a week and a half. I'm happy with the progress today, but not sure how I'm feeling about this overall just yet. Trusting the process is my greatest challenge. #handembroidery

Not to get all emotional but I'm excited to experience the city in ways we never could when we lived there. Not only financially (we were SO broke) but emotionally. I was working a soul sucking pet job in management, he was getting a phD in chemistry...we were not very happy people LMAO

I'm going back to San Diego for the first time since we moved away almost 7 years ago and it's so surreal. We lived there for 4 very transformative, HARD years, and the people we are coming back as are WILDLY different than the people we were when we left.

Hand embroidered red panda with a 3d turkey work tail 🥰 single strand DMC in a 5 inch hoop. I did this one to try and get better at smaller color palettes and quicker projects. About 2wks work, I'm going to be turning this one into a pattern 😁 #embroidery

This is a stylized piece I finished for the winter solstice. I loved trying to work with a limited palette on this one(and I was dying to do eye shine spoookyyyy). Hand embroidered, single strand DMC.
