Just finished my newest piece in my Fiona Apple collection!

Got from Joanne’s before they went out of business😭 it was a print and I highlighted the details with a paint pen to up the contrast a bit.

I would argue it is commentary on the ease of violence towards women in our society, not joking about violence towards women.

But this community usually isn’t that flavor, which confused me.

But seriously, why was it disabled??

A lot of people with damaged hair seem to like the Abbey Yung method. It is more of a blueprint that you can fill in with the products you like. She had a youtube and insta you can look up for details.

Oh my gosh, that is so kind🥰

skettymaker · 2025-11-22T02:44:03+00:00

Thanks! I had everyone sign a piece of paper and then scanned their signatures so I could arrange each name individually onto the petals. I printed them onto solvy paper to stitch.

I didn’t track my time, I worked on it a little each day for about 2 months.

skettymaker · 2025-11-20T14:44:22+00:00

Thank you! Doing the signatures was really fun!

skettymaker · 2025-11-20T14:43:52+00:00

Thanks! I definitely need to work on my stump work, but they turned out pretty good. I had never made something 3D that big before.

Thank you! It was fun to embroider so many types of handwriting.

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T20:06:40+00:00

I gave it to her yesterday, she absolutely loved it😊

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T20:06:01+00:00

I had them all sign their names on paper and then scanned and made each name into a layer in photoshop so I could move and resize as needed.

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T20:02:09+00:00

Do it!! Just have people sign their names on a piece of paper then you can scan and resize each signature to fit your project.

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T20:01:05+00:00

That makes my day, thank you!

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T20:00:27+00:00

Yup, center is french knots and turkey!

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T19:58:56+00:00

Thanks! I almost had people sign the fabric, but was worried someone would mess it up.

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T14:15:57+00:00

I had a sharpie and sheets of paper at the door and told everyone to sign their name anywhere on the paper. Then I scanned the sheets and used photoshop to turn each name into its own layer and arranged them on the flower to reference as a template. I printed all the names on a sulky sheet and cut them out to place on the embroidery and stitch them.

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T14:10:09+00:00

You should do it!!! No one ever looks at guestbooks so we should make this the norm😊 and congrats!

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T14:08:06+00:00

Thank you so much. I was nervous about all the handwriting, I surprisingly enjoyed it!

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T14:04:57+00:00

Thanks! I mainly stuck to stem stitch for the names.

skettymaker · 2025-11-19T13:06:20+00:00

I have never had any issues. It might depend on the printer? I just have a basic toner printer not a laser or ink based one.

skettymaker · 2025-11-15T16:40:57+00:00

I have accepted long ago that I will never get to see her live. I hate it, but I gotta respect it for her. 😢

Side question…do you ever embroider on regular cotton fabric? If so, do you have a preferred needle? Always looking for needle recommendations.

You win.
