    Since folks seemed to enjoy this moth buddy, I recently made a cicada friend using a similar color palette you can see here ruclips.net/video/4lGshWYwdaM/видео.html 💚🧵

    Watching this makes me realize that I absolutely do not have the patience for beading. I barely have the patience for embroidery. But your INTRO LOOK. The hair, the wrap, the makeup, the shirt... It is *exquisite*.

    This is so beautiful, it's been a couple decades since ive tried embroidery, but when my nana was teaching me she would always say that the back MUST look as neat and tidy as the front. She would be very impressed by your stunning talent, care and attention to detail.

  • @cheshiredeimos1874
    @cheshiredeimos1874 Год назад

    I love that you don't use glue. No shame to crafters who do, it is quick and easy. I personally dislike it for three reasons. 1) I like being able to reuse/repurpose pieces which is easier to do when they are sewn, not glued. 2) If I make mistakes or changes mid project stitches can be removed cleanly. 3) Sewing is better for longevity and multiwear projects.

    Your videos have been so awesome for me! I have been realizing I not only had everything to create these kinds of embroidered pieces, but how much I enjoy playing with color, materials, etc. I followed one of your beaded bugs first, using similar materials, and then progressed to making more using different materials like silk thread, thin shell beads, and figuring out how to mount them on plaques. Thank you for the inspiration to create something new!

    I'm an artist, jewelry and bead lover of all kinds. I've searched and collecting the supplies for making a beaded purse w/kiss closure. I've always loved the look and technique in bead art, the long sparkly flowing dresses. I might give this a try at first. You make it look so easy and doable and seems very therapeutic and with flow of creativity! ❤ Etsy, while I've found some suppliers with vintage sequins and beads most all are from another country and beautiful indeed. Well worth the wait. Thanks for the share and inspiration. Your creations are stunning

    How lovely, my favourite too. In our local woods, behind my house, we have a moth specialist who comes and sets up a couple of times a year. We usually catch between 60 and 80 different species each time.. They are amazing. Each one goes in a clear plastic container, is examined, documented, then released. Great fun x

    I am a former NY-er, married to a New Orleans (Katrina 2005 survivor) guy..we live in the Upper Pontalba in the French Quarter. So, anyway, now I am retired from the 9 to 5, and have revisited my lifelong love for needlework...Hubby had a storage unit across the river, and it is jammed with things like vintage (pre 1980) dead-stock denim, bark cloth from the 1950s, remnants, from his first wife and her sister, they should both rest in peace. Anyway, thus far in two years? I have made pillows out of re-purposed lace, denim tote bags accented w/ bark cloth, and one of a kind ethnic dolls...none of this requires a pattern. Just good eyesight, a large table, patience, and quality scissors. My latest is a resurrected (seriously) Quasimodo doll. I have a pattern which I eyeballed from looking and penciling, for a vest for him. Allowing or that pesky hunch, don't ya know. Love your channel. I am new..but swearsies, will be stopping by again real soon...cheers from the SkyCave!!

    Watching your channel and Tessa Perlow's has been making me want to take up bead embroidery! I do have some beads lying around from a time I tried making some jewelry... but I KNOW I'll end up buying more beads than using up my stash. So your point about collecting beads not being so expensive and feeling like you're collecting jewels hit me in a soft spot 😂
