Omg hiiii!!! I'm back and hopefully will be around more regularly. I miss all of you 🥺. I had so much fun making this piece for Drift. This is the best embroidery piece I have ever done and I am so proud of how it turned out. Fun fact: the pattern I made was saved as "ivy token hot.png." another fun fact: I was running a fever for about half the time I was making this piece. If you ask me, you can tell when the fever was getting real rough lmao
A list of things I said while making this piece:
"Your Honor, I did NOT babygirl-ify than man. He babygirl-ified HIMSELF."
"Ivy token hot...."
"Drift is so right... He is just so neat...."

spock coming back to life in st iii immediately triggers his pon farr bc everything is out-of-whack, and whomst would he possibly be considered bonded to besides the person he literally entrusted his katra to?? they're on vulcan for three months before they head back to earth and start searching for those whales.
st iv is a perfect movie and cannot be improved upon at all but it COULD be funnier if spock and mccoy had banged for like a week right after they shoved spock's katra back in his body, neither of them were fully in their right minds, and then they simply didn't talk about it again. mccoy isn't even sure if spock remembers??? that's part of what he's trying to figure out when they're talking together in st iv??? spock do you remember our seven days in heaven?????
meanwhile spock has spent the entire movie fully unaware of mccoys mental gymnastics, and reasonably assumes they're now together.
the end of the movie, right after the trial, spock turns around and kisses mccoy in front of god, starfleet command, and everyone. mccoy goes a shade of red spock genuinely did not know humans could go. it is.....charming.
Artists commentary, process photos, scale reference photo, and other things under the cut 😘
TEAM. ........ I'VE HAD A. DAY. I did some of this while at choir practice and ALSO at work. (I work in KITCHEN. idk how I did that.) This is one of the few pieces I drew completely myself so no reference photo used or traced or anything like that. Just me and my attempt at showing draping 👍
I also forgot to take progress photos :( I'm sorry :((((
