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.

I think this one is done. Hand stitched and with many small pieces of metal found along the road. #embroidery

#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

Started another postcard. A tiny disintegrating doily and some tinier vintage buttons and a couple leftover hand embroidered leaves. Not sure if it is done. #embroidery

I think this embroidery might be almost finished. Lots of found objects. Lots of silk threads. Lots of time. #artsky

When Babysock Bedbug tries to climb into the Seamstress’ bed, this is what they are confronted with… #foundobjects #embroidery

A work in progress laid out in an embroidery hoop. The scene is a baby sock that has been given button eyes and a frog nose, staring at a pile of assorted sewing paraphernalia like a thimble, a needle threader, buttons, threads, a lingerie strap, etc.The background is mattress ticking fabric.

This used to be a carabiner that I found broken on the road. All hand embroidered. Mostly silk blends threads. #artsky #embroidery

Probably most of what is currently left. I am working on elements for the foreground, so we will see.

roadtrashcritter.bsky.social @roadtrashcritter.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

I am with you on that. Using over-dyed and variegated threads is so much fun.

I was in a mood so I made another postcard using a small change purse I found in the road. #embroidery #postcard

Photo is of a postcard sized embroidery collage. There is a tiny cat shaped change purse with a headdress consisting of white strings, big red glass heart shaped beads, purple leaves and 2 orange flowers. The background is green.

Finished it. 3+ years of on and off again embroidery collage work. #artsky #embroidery

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

A hand embroidered postcard made using a plastic found along the road. It depicts a heart with a smiley face surrounded by a decorative border made of a Lego and chopped up Nerf projectiles. Underneath the heart it reads “Love Your Neighbor.”

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. The creatures are a winged horse, a bug eyed rabbit, and a gnome-like creature holding a gardening tool.

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.

Small pieces of metal and plastic found along the road have been embroidered together onto a brown background to create a figure wearing a green hat. He will be cut out and placed on a different background.

Not any more or less than I would if I carried around a couple of tissues, I guess. I mean, I wash them once they have been used, so they don’t get that bad.

I still use a cloth hankie. Admittedly, they were my dad’s, but they are so much nicer than paper tissues.
