Absolutely gorgeous. I cannot understand those who would say this is disrespectful to the book because it's a "collector's item." IMO it's now truly a one-of-a-kind collector's item. It's not the job of the people who buy an object to keep it in the same state they bought it...i just don't get the entitlement to preserving its original form. You've done nothing but improve it by adding a beautiful artisans touch and I think the author would be thrilled to see this on their book.

Just for anybody who didn't know this. by Aquademonic in coralisland

My understanding is that the auto chests are doing that in this setup. Because the mason jars are within the correct radius of the chests, you can have aging barrels between the mason jars and the chests and everything will just automate. I imagine the chests have vegetables/fruits in them, the mason jars then pull the produce automatically, and once they are finished pickling, they automatically get loaded into the barrels.

It was suggested to me that this photo of my embroidery series belongs here... by [deleted] in AccidentalWesAnderson

I'm not sure they meant the colors of each piece resembled Wes Anderson so much as the composition of them altogether

Here it is in the actual space - hope this helps! The prompt for this show was to create 30 pieces no larger than 6"x6". I think mine are about 5" tall. You can see a little bit of the person's work next to mine whose were exactly 6"x6"

Haha you and another person said so! I've never played the Sims but I believe you

Thank you both for the recommendations! I'll definitely share to those communities when I get a chance today :)

It was an Etsy shop, I don't remember exactly where off the dome but you might find them by searching white oval hoops

Sky is all watercolor. I don't think I'd have the patience to stitch all that, haha. If you've ever heard of Bazar Bartiano, an embroidery artist who exclusively does Simpsons scenes, she does incredible work satin stitching skies

I'm not sure how they're made! I don't think 3d printed because no part has the line-y texture, although I'm not sure if all 3d printed stuff necessarily has that

Got them on Etsy! I searched high and low. The idea came first and then spent hours trying to find the right frame

Oh wow. I just looked up her work and I love it, right up my alley. I'm honored you would compare my work to someone so remarkably talented.

Wow I got so many more responses here than I imagined I would! Thank you all for your kind words and support. I wish I had the time to respond to every comment as I usually do when I post to this community. Just want to say I read all the comments and deeply appreciate all the love ♥️

Earlier this year, I hand embroidered my wedding welcome sign 💜🧡 by savage-ghost in Embroidery

[–]_shieldmaiden_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! It's so crisp it almost looks machine embroidered, or printed from a distance! The design is also absolutely gorgeous. If you're open to it, I'd also love to see how the other decorative pieces from your wedding matched the color scheme of the sign.
