Hi! :D This is my first post on this forum, and i'm a little giddy about it. Also a little high, so forgive my enthusiasm. ^_^
Here is something i've been looking forward to sharing:
This is an embroidery i did over the summer, of a perhaps vaguely familiar image. A friend of mine had it tattooed on his arm, so when i decided to try embroidering, i tried for this. (i like to start out simple, you know.) Woo, pretty colors.
It's this beautiful silk yarn that i dyed with different colors and embroidered along with thin thread onto black fabric. i went a lil' bit manic for a while and did it in 16 hours. fun times! :)
i sent one of the picture to the cosm.com newsletter, and the Alex's displayed it in one of their past newsletters, hooray. they liked it~
wwwhhhooooooooooooossshhhhhhaaaaaahhhhhh.
and here is a cannabis leaf. yar.
i lost the pictures of the fabric still on the hoop; in this picture, it's been cut out, ready to be made into an iron-on patch, which i gave to a friend who had appropriately gotten out of jail for possession before then. o ho ho.
Please let me know what you think. I'm looking forward to exchanging a lot of thoughts with you all. :)
