Just another piece of art stitched on a vintage handkerchief… #embroidery

A hand embroidered piece of art in a 12 x 8 inch oval hoop. The background fabric is a vintage women’s handkerchief with blue and green flowers. In the center of the hoop is a sheep? Stitched in grey and white and covered with grey, white, black and mixed round beads. There are bones scattered along the ground.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

#FensterFreitag My latest work, entitled "Finestra selvagge" (Wild Window) Inspired by an image shared by @ObsidianUrbex and used with permission @textileart @fiberarts #Art #FineArtInStitch #TextileArt #embroidery #fineart #ContemporaryArt #MastoArt […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

Stitched artwork depicting a multipaned metal window frame with columns either side, very old and rusted, with no glass. Vines twist around the rusted framework and behind is dark greenery. The whole image is dark and speaks of decay and nature taking back

Did some more stitching on this piece, finally. Sometimes the background stuff drags on forever on my pieces. #embroidery #workinprogress

A work in progress photo of a hand embroidered piece. The background fabric is chartreuse with green circles printed on it. The stitching so far is a “ground” done in shades of tan, brown, and orange. A blue blade of grass that looks like a swan is in the center of the canvas. That is it so far.

I hand embroidered another postcard from trash found on the street (nerf projectiles, a Lego, a plastic heart, nozzles from air canisters) and some beads left over from old projects. Not really a meant to be a valentine. #artsky

I put my little trash collaged guy on a background! This piece of embroidery is like 27 inches by 18 inches and it is now almost done. #artsky

A detail of a large hand embroidered work that includes 3 “creatures” made from collaging small bits of trash together. The background is green and yellow, there is a grey beaded building in the background and a fuzzy tree of gold to the left of the photo.

Found some trash along the road. Made a caretaker for an estate. No glue used. All hand embroidered. I did add some beads, a brooch and a bit of broken chain. #foundobjects #artsky

Some small pieces of metal and plastic found along the road have been laid out to resemble a strange looking figure wearing a hat.

Took a pile of trash, embroidered a thing. I never use any type of glue on my projects, so this guy was a bit tricky to stitch together. What do you all think? #artsky

A bunch of found objects randomly placed on top of some green felt.

A weird green creature made using found objects from previous photo on a piece of green felt.

I finished “The Cave” today. This is a 14 inch hoop. Lots of road trash, broken jewelry and repurposed beads went into this one. And lots of hand stitching. #artsky #handembroidery

A 14 inch embroidery hoop. The bottom half of the canvas is embroidered with various sizes and shapes of pink beads. The background is a cotton print depicting green stones. The canvas is decorated with many pieces of broken and vintage silver jewelry, mostly floral, although there is a strange rectangular poodle pin. To the left side of the canvas a cave has been cut. There is indistinct graffiti stitched inside the cave (most of which will never be seen as it is a deep pocket.) There are 2 critters made from road trash, a tall brown one with black ears and a squat toad like one with big black eyes.

I’ve been working on building the interior of a cave for my current project. This includes a bag full of mini scrolls. Nobody is ever going to see them inside the cave. I made them anyway. #embroidery #art
