Apologies to my lactose intolerant & vegan peeps, but get ready for some cheese. 🧀 Many, many years ago, on my 18th birthday (lol), my bff of almost 10 years @vanhoghh gifted me a portrait of myself. Flash forward to this past winter, and I decided to do the same for her in my own style as a (very) belated grad/birthday present. 💗 This was my first time incorporating felt into an embroidery, and I couldn’t think of a better way than to try and capture how pretty Nicole is. I’m not gonna lie, shipping this was so hard (it hung on my wall for a bit), but living 900+ miles away from her is even harder. ☹️ I miss you all the damn time Nickel, and can’t wait until our next visit! 💗 #embroidery #longtermbesties #bestie #embroideryart #feltembroidery #portrait #limitededition #hoop #sewing #shapes #creative #bookstagram #hobbygram #danidarko #blackfabric #galaxies #bestfriendedits #artsandcrafts #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #flossing #embroideryfloss #handstitched #graduationgift #embroideredportrait #embroideryartist #loveyourself #collector #keepingupwithaskillings (at Colorado Springs, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPCL52BrIVR/?utm_medium=tumblr
