Day 2 of working on this new #embroidery piece. Now I have to pause for a week because of work and family commitments. The hardest part is putting the needle down 😭 #embroideryartist #threadpainting

Progress pic of a new piece. I'm so busy at the moment, but taking a few hours to sew is so therapeutic. The restorative power of needle and thread 🪡 🧵

Here is the self portrait which won 1st prize at the Art as a Response to Mental Health Exhibition. Part of the Doncaster Art Fair. The artwork is hand embroidered. #PortraitArt #embroidery

A picture of a female face turned 2/3s to the right with a slightly sad face. The face is only in detail around the eyes, the rest is sketchy with bold colourful lines outling the outline of the face and neckline of clothing. Around the head is a bright light blue fabric which is frame ted. The whole artwork is on a cream fabric background

Is there an art community somewhere that I'm missing? Because putting out artworks on social media that took dozens, sometimes hundreds of hours to make often only gets me a handful of likes. Writing a chapter of silly fanfic gets me a ticker tape parade apparently. #artist #ukartist

So close, yet so far! Skele is just missing half her arms, a few mushrooms and grey patches and a bunch of text. Approx 3 weeks til it needs to be done to give me time to wash, mount, frame, photograph and submit. It's.........doable 👀 Sitting at 274 hours so far 🙃

Linework hand embroidery of a human skeleton (although the arms are not fully visible) done with heavy black outlines to resemble a scientific illustration. Fig 1 is written at the top and there are straight lines coming out from it at the sides that will be used as labels although they are currently unfinished. The letters "AT" are to the right of one of the label lines, which are the beginning of an unfinished word. The labels lead to mushrooms growing from the skull.

On the skeleton there are multiple patches of greyscale colouring which spread out from the mushrooms. There are 16 patches of mushrooms shown, and some are identical. On the top left of the skull a patch of three mushrooms are teal with lighter teal spots, in the centre top of the skull is a single green mushroom with fluro green slime dripping from it, and on the top right of the skull a patch of three mushroom are varying shades of red. There is an orange mushroom growing from the left eyesocket, and two small, pink mushrooms growing under the right eyesocket. A cluster of 5 purple mushrooms is growing from the right side of the neck, and a matching cluster grows on the left shoulder. There are fat, green mushrooms growing between the left shoulder and up the neck.

There are groups of different kinds of mushrooms growing on the shoulders, ribs, under the ribcage, on the elbows, on the hips and on the pelvis. The small mushrooms in the ribcage are pink. The large cluster of mushrooms growing from the pelvis is bright yellow, and the patch of 3 spotty mushrooms growing from the right top of the pelvis, the left hip and the right thigh are green. In the centre of both thighs there are large patches of blue fan-like mushrooms, and the same purple mushrooms seen above grow from both knees. Three more patches of green mushrooms grow down the right leg and foot

It's not quite finished, but this is what I've been making this week. If it's finished on time I'll be exhibiting it at the start of February. #embroidery #embroideryart
