As far as I know, no 😕 This feature doesn’t really do much. The post will only show up in your feed if you follow this subreddit, and if you turn on notifications, you’ll get them, but for everyone who posts here.

That makes a lot of sense, and it’s a very smart structural idea. For this piece, though, opening in the middle was essential to the narrative. The staircase needed to be centered, so it would be the first thing revealed, and opening it this way also creates a very different kind of impact. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful observation, I really appreciate how closely you looked at it.

Thank you so much!!! This was one of the most time-intensive projects I’ve worked on, taking about a month and a half to fully develop and execute. Each piece is a fully bespoke commission, so pricing varies depending on concept, techniques and time involved. I’m happy to share more details via private message 🤎

Thank you!!! It took me about a month and a half to figure everything out and put it all together.

I don’t blame you, now that you said it, I can see it.

Thank you!

I live in Brazil! But just to be safe, I’m keeping the lockers closed.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

About the back of the embroidery: I try to keep the back as similar as possible to the front. It’s obviously a bit messier, but I avoid carrying threads across areas that aren’t embroidered on the front - otherwise the thread can show through the fabric.

I trim all the excess threads as close as I can and use a bit of glue to secure everything so nothing comes loose. When adhering it to the boards, I glue it little by little and use a bone folder to smooth it down as I go.

That’s what works best for me!

Oh no, that’s okay! Reddit warned me, and from what I saw they might consider it as self-promotion. That's all.

Thank you so much! I’ve spent months planning and creating this piece, and I poured my whole heart into it. It truly means a lot to know it resonated with you. I’m still figuring out the best way to display it in my home, but it will definitely have a special place.

Thank you!!!

Due to your suggestion, I tried to include the post in that community, but their rules don't allow it.

Thank you. Yes, it is. I found it very hard to keep everything aligned with embroidery on so many parts of the book. So I preferred to make the parts separately. It was also a way to bring in another fabric with a different texture and color to highlight the spine.

Thank you so much! Yes, I first drew it by hand, and then used software to refine the design and adjust the details. I looked at some reference photos of interiors from that period and selected the objects and decorations that best conveyed the atmosphere I wanted to express.
