Update time!!

I got a ton of work done the past few evenings! This self inflicted deadline might just be possible! 61 days to go.

Update 2

There’s about 6 hours worth of work done on his hair and another 2 on his jacket. Feeling a bit discouraged about his hair, since I find it’s a lot of work time going into it with not super noticable results. Plus my black thread knotted on the jacket agghhhh.

42 days left. Here’s hoping this is doable!

Hand embroidered by Felix + Flower

[felixandflower]

Slow going, but work is getting done! Another 8 hours or so to his jacket.

35 days left! Maybe I can do this???

Haven’t been embroidering much lately—using this time rather to do important learning and growing.

I’ll likely be extending my deadline to the end of August.

[felixandflower]

Sorry folks, I’ve decided (100% true to my own character lol) to extend my deadline to the end of summer. Seemed like there were more important things to be doing and learning in June than embroidering.

New goal: September 1st! Let’s do this!

Well, I’ve removed 4 hours of work and then put in another 6. Slowly but surely getting there.

12 hours of work in since my last update! I’m not going to share a picture of the front for a while, but here’s a shot of the very messy back.

Hand embroidered by felix + flower embroidery

[felixandflower]

ok ok, I’ll still share small updates of the front but likely won’t share a full picture for a while...keeps it more of a surprise then! Believe it or not we are getting much closer to the final reveal! (though maybe not for Sept 1st....sorry).

I’ve put another 7 hours into this section of hair. Sometimes as I’m embroidering I can kind of go on autopilot and stitch while watching a familiar show or something—not for this section! I’m looking at my reference for every stitch and need to be very focused.

Super slow progress, but progress indeed has been made.

Some recent work on Jannabi’s Choi Jung hoon

Jannabi’s putting out a new album! Inspired me to embroider again!

I need a second opinion, folks! Sherlock’s coat has been stressing me out since the day I started this piece. I wasn’t thrilled with how the top section of his lapel looked so I ripped it out last night. Tried again on the right side of his collar using a different stitch, which I’m much happier with.

So, do I rip out the rest of his collar to match that same new stitch, or should I leave it as it is? i.e. magnum opus do it right!! or am I being too much of a perfectionist?

(For the embroiderers out there, the solid black existing section of collar was done with 3 strands in a modified long and short stitch, while the new bit of collar is with 6 strands in short rows of satin stitch)

Honestly, I’m probably leaning towards ripping it out, just since I’ve already put so much time into it. Want to look back and not feel I rushed anything because of my self inflicted deadline. Opinions still appreciated though!

[felixandflower]

Cool! Tumblr used a photo of my embroidered portrait of Benedict Cumberbatch to celebrate the actor’s birthday.

Thanks, Tumblr!!! 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️
