embroidery

All summer I have been attempting to do something creative with my hands that isn't my usual fare [unlike most of my artist peers, I am obsessed with art and the idea of making art but during the summertime I never seem to actually make much - just theorize about it] and the ideas of either knitting or embroidery has come up multiple times. I will admit, I love sewing. I love it mostly because it is something to do with my hands to keep them busy.

My goal for embroidery is to be like Joetta Maue's absolutely lovely work [which has been my craving all summer]. These are some of my favourites:





I guess practice will make perfect. I just need some fabric. However, I am currently attempting to turn this pant jumpsuit of my mum's into a dress for me. Mum actually looks astonished when I modeled it for her after connecting the legs.
Oh, ye faithless.
