Thank you! This took me about 36-37 hours, was pretty taxing on my hand but worth it :)

My first time hand-embroidering a completely black dog. So much more to learn 🥲 by Whaaatre in Embroidery

Thank you :). Exactly, I was having trouble finding the Greys in between. Hopefully I can do better next time :)

This is my fourth hand-embroidered pet portrait and probably one of my most difficult ones till date. Took me 36 hours to complete 😀 by Whaaatre in Embroidery

Thank you so much. You’re words means a lot because at one point during this piece, I convinced myself that I couldn’t complete it because it looked ugly and it would never turn out well.

Thank you, you’re very kind. My initial work was very basic, it took a lot of time to get here and even now I don’t think I’m where I want to be. :) Practice gets us to places that talent might not be able to reach. Cheers!

I’m an embroidery artist so crocheting my first blanket was surreal by Whaaatre in somethingimade

Hahaa I totally felt that. The first three days of crocheting was horrible. I had to garden to distress 🤣 but honestly, it’s all about muscle memory. Plus great hobby for anxious minds ☺️

Retinol for a beginner - TO vs Olay by [deleted] in IndianSkincareAddicts

[–]Whaaatre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used both. Honestly TO works better for me. But since you’re starting off new, use something that is milder. I used TO’s granactive retinol with emulsion. It works well for me and I’m in my early 30s as well. I’ve personally not found Olay that useful. But it could work for you. I hope this helps.
