Regrann from @marnalunt - This was the first portrait shade I did. Obviously it was Frida. It’ll be interesting to see how different the updates and huge version is. This will always be a very special one it me though. . #embroiderydesign #stitchersofinstagram #threadpainting #embroideryinstaguild #modernembroiderymovement #fridakahlo #handembroidery #handstitched #handcrafted #artistsoninstagram #artist #womenempoweringwomen #marnalunt #broderie #bordado #embroidery #mrxstitch #embroidery #embroideryart #embroiderylove #feminism #fiberart #florals #flowers #feelingstitchyig #modernembroidery #stitches #stitchersofinstagram #guidinglights . 📷 @evewanders (en Madrid, Spain)
The revolution will be magazine-ized!! It's arrived! And signed! It's amazing and I'm not saying that because im in it. Everybody made such amazing patterns! Im so proud to be in such good and familiar company. I love our constantly expanding stitch family. Thanks @mrxstitch for having me! #xstitchmagazine #mrxstitch #revolution #crossstitch #getyoursbeforetheyaregone
