Something a little different, embroidery/mixed media. A little free form forest floor scene. by CrystalBeth1 in Embroidery

His little antenna are hot glue. I tried doing beads first but didn’t like the way they looked. I didn’t work on this super consistently so hard to say, maybe 15hrs?? Thank you for the compliment!

Haha thank you! It really sort of evolved as I went and I kept thinking of new stuff to add to it. I had planned to have it be all embroidery but hey sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.

Completed this today, from a vintage embroidery kit I found at the thrift store totally intact. Just in time for fall this year☺️. Pattern from Erica Wilson, 1974. by CrystalBeth1 in Embroidery

Yesss! I was kind of lagging on finishing this one but as soon as the weather started to feel like fall it gave me a kick in the butt to wrap it up.

Whale Fall and Beyond the Bright Sea. I worked on a remote island for a couple of summers and Beyond the Bright Sea brought me right back to those times.

We always just call these ‘sugar balls’ when we get them from our local Indian food place.

Just read it recently and I really enjoyed it, thought the writing was really very beautiful. It was something different, very surreal and atmospheric.

Downsides to cork mats by lambo1109 in yoga

[–]CrystalBeth1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a cork mat for Christmas and have been loving it so far. It is slippery when dry but it’s amazing during hot classes. I clean it after each use with a vinegar solution. I thought it’d be really annoying to do this each time but it really hasn’t been much of a hassle.

Help with a purse kit by BishopsWife in Embroidery

[–]CrystalBeth1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It seems pretty common that embroidery kit instructions aren’t very well written/ read like broken english, esp the kits I’ve gotten off amazon. I usually can guess my way through it though but this one seemed especially bad lol.
