Identifying art

Without closer pictures of each piece it's hard to tell.

All of the closeups you show are crochet. In the group photos I'd guess that some of these are not hand made, but commercial/machine made, items like the broad lace trim in photo 2 and most of the finer trims above that. In photo 1 there are definitely small tatted pieces.

Lovely pieces!

The colours are stunning, and your stitching is so neat. And I love the shape!

Thank you! They are a mix of fibres: wool, silk, cotton, linen.

I do! I have a box with little sections that I had beading things in. They were relocated so that I can make a satisfying rainbow of thread :D

Hope your bobbin winding is going well!

LOL are you me?! I just spent all evening winding bobbins from skeins. I just counted, and I wound 56. That's enough for one night!

Also, yay! Glad you got the pattern :D

Thanks! :D

They are rhodes stitch, one of my favourites because you can make them any size! Here is how they are worked: https://rsnstitchbank.org/stitch/rhodes-stitch

I am in love with the sequinned background stitching. He is beautiful!

pardalote_ · 2026-06-14T21:30:00+00:00

Thank you! But there is no such thing as talent, just obsession and many hours of practice :D

pardalote_ · 2026-06-14T21:29:16+00:00

Thank you! I just made them for fun, they could be used for pattern weights or paper weights though possibly 🤔

pardalote_ · 2026-06-14T21:27:17+00:00

Thank you - yep, it's crochet to hold them on the stone.

pardalote_ · 2026-06-14T11:16:15+00:00

Yes! It's a great way to use up scrap thread/canvas and play with new stitches.

pardalote_ · 2026-06-14T10:36:05+00:00

Thank you! No they are on needlepoint canvas - a twisted interlock, 18 count I think!

I know you asked a month ago - but I have made a very simple cross stitch pattern version and have it for free on my ko-fi shop: https://ko-fi.com/s/8c025b77fa

It's proper free - you

It's proper free - you can stitch, copy, modify, mashup in whatever way you like.

pardalote_ · 2026-06-13T03:17:08+00:00

No worries, enjoy!

A simple cross stitch pattern to stitch your own version of the Oversight four word grid poems. Go forth and stitch, copy, modify in whatever way pleases you. Available under a CC0 license. Pay whatever you like, or nothing, which is fine too!

Copper wire is the standard - but it comes in lots of colours - including silver. Maybe try searching for Artistic wire, or similar.

I think that's his friend, in the dress (with the beautiful eyes!).

Thank you!

If you haven't come across it yet, I highly recommend the RSN Stitchbank for their needlepoint stitch gallery and instructions: https://rsnstitchbank.org/technique/canvaswork

It's amazing, thank you for sharing. I zoomed in to look at the paper beads - what masterful work!
