My current embroidery project is a "sampler," mandala style, inspired by some mandala sampler videos on YouTube from @gettheetothestitchery. Her videos of embroidery stitches are clear and easy to follow. Also, I live that she includes videos of her learning new things, including other crafts, such as macrame. Image 1: The b Beginning. Having outlined a circle and sectioned it off using a water-based removable pen-like device, I created a hexagonal outline. This was inspired by @gettheetothestitchery 's Crow's Foot Gone Rogue video. Image 2: Decorative Finial To spice up my hexagonal border, I added strange little bits of embroidery I'm calling finials. I'm not thrilled with how they all turned out, so I may replace them later, but for the moment they're staying. Note: This tiny amount of embroidery, on top of the dragonfly, had my back under my right shoulder so knotted up, I had to take a break of several days. Image 3: Top of First Leaf I'm putting a flower in the middle. So, of course, we start with the leaves. I took another day off after this tiny bit for the same reason. Image 4: Two Whole Leaves Here's where I am, now. Two leaves. There will be more, but I may need another break. #embroidery #embroiderypractice #crafts (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSagT6glZAY/?utm_medium=tumblr
More embroidery practice...
Little flowers are a great way to practice the stitches I like, but it’s probably time to switch it up. What kind of imagery do you think I should try next?

Came across my old supplies and thinking about some future knitting/embroidery projects on a sickly Wednesday. Looking forward to having the space in 🇦🇺 for all of my crafty/artsy endeavors again 🧶 🧵 #embroiderypractice https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRnV-Ph5Jw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jj1criep1njs
