i’ve been embroidering for nearly four years now and i’m still constantly surprised and delighted by what people can stitch up! it’s hands down my favorite art form, and i’ve found such a lovely online community surrounding it.

it’s a technique called wire slip stump work! i learned how to do it from [megan zaniewski’s incredible book on 3D embroidery.](https://a.co/d/g7Y1Krj)
i'm really sick with a fever and brain fog so that was about all I could offer in the moment. honestly i'm really impressed! i just have negative brain cells to rub together
i’ve made a couple of connected pieces - [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Embroidery/s/jUHC9CBBky) and [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Embroidery/s/yEsGO4Sr6l) - and they were a fun challenge, but the violin especially was quite difficult to put together! i decided to go a bit easier on myself with this piece 🙂
I looooove this. I would add 1 adjustment -add a mechanism to the top and bottom one to connect to the middle so they are movable
I'm sure I'm talking crazy, but something like a popsicle stick to attach the middle to the top and another to attach the middle to the bottom. Bonus points if someone can figure out a mechanical make it move. Omg, I need to make this
I'm going to add some pedantry to the fire and say that "flying too close to the sun" implies ambition that ends in tragedy, whereas you have *fucking nailed it*.
i use the app procreate to draw out whatever i want to stitch on my ipad (in this case a wacky inflatable tube man), then i draw circles around the parts of it i want to hoop and erase whatever is in between! then just transfer to the fabric and get to stitching 🪡
YOU are a GENIUS !! My favorite character is Wind-sock Man! I love this so much!!💀I'm dead because of the SHEER CUTENESS OVERLOAD OF IT ALL!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you creative bastards 😂😂 This is so clever and well executed!
right? I love this sub
The crease of the A, the tilt of the hoops. Be still my heart!!! 🤌🏻
Absolutely brilliant art. I would be proud to display this on my wall, OP! You did a phenomenal job 🤩🤩🤩
If we can’t use our skills to make our meme dreams real then what was the point of it all
I thought embroidery was all flowers and such. And then I joined this sub. And every meme and fandom was exquisitely represented. A joy.

“Sewn too close to the sun” was *right there*
😂 unfortunately i think my pedantic nature would have rebelled at equating embroidery with sewing

Fair, lovely piece btw

This is the kind of embroidery I would pay for.
You are a goddess.

The way it separates at the rings makes a weird kind of 3D effect, which looks great. Nicely done.

Cheeky embroidery is a waste of materials.
