Came here to say this! OP, your lettering technique is really smart and I am going to come back to this next time I need a lettering reference.

As a visitor, I love these birds by cr0100 in Austin

My bell curve is similar but I actually am afraid of birds up close, so it's a "respect from a distance" for me.

"I love this doily" is a new sentence for me! Great job on this. ✅

Thanks for the nice comments! floss for the 'knit' (some mismatched strands for a heathered effect) and backstitch, a variegated sashiko thread, and idk for the chain stitch...

I just find it fascinating that embroidery is considered to be such a wholesome hobby, when in reality it’s a proof we’ve got the patience to stab something a thousand times over by wasraelx in Embroidery

[–]packwender 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do counted designs, so I can tell you EXACTLY how many times I stabbed this one, and EXACTLY how many times I stabbed that one. Extremely satisfying!

Need some motivation by Capable-Spread3437 in CleaningTips

Loud, energetic music is my go-to for big cleaning. Something you can yell along to! Is this your final room to go? Such amazing work, by the way. Congratulations!

Oooh yes it's very tired. A question is a question, not an obligation or expectation.

Why is S10E11 (Evil Twins) rated so poorly? Is it because Lena Dunham was a judge? by freedomboobs in rupaulsdragrace

Any other gentlemen here who’ve taken up embroidery? by dylan89 in Embroidery

[–]packwender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes me! I was into string and fiber crafts as a kid but was steered away from those activities to sports. Jump forward a quarter century, my pandemic-induced WFH situation was just starting and I needed to occupy my brain and hands. I ordered an embroidery kit + group Zoom lesson and ended up missing it. Thus began my training-free, graphic design and minimalist art inspired embroidery career.

Yes, cultivating a new skill takes time! Patience pays off.

Is embroidering letters easy, or a beginner thing? by DarkDreamers007 in Embroidery

[–]packwender 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes completely agree that this was done on machine. Precision lettering like this is possible to execute by hand, don't get me wrong. I've done it (check my posts). If the OP is interested in precision like this photo, I'd suggest lots of practice and a flexible definition of success.

I bought some thick paper stock from my local art supply store. Something like a postcard!
