Purple Asters Text is lyrics from “Better In The Morning” by Birdtalker

Image ID: Hand embroidered stem of purple asters sit on a black fabric background inside a round embroidery hoop. There are 5 asters coming off the stem and lots of leaves. Under the asters is small text that reads “I learned shame when I was young, I will do better in the morning.” The hoop is held by a white hand in front of a wooden fence that’s being overtaken by pretty weeds.

#embroidery #embroidered #hand embroidery #hand embroidered #asters #purple asters #flowers #lyrics #birdtalker #i started this in January thinking it would take me a week or two to get done #instead it has sat on my desk trying to make me feel guilty abt not finishing it for over half the year #I almost scrapped it at one point #thinking that if it built up too much guilt around it i'd never do more emboidery #turns out I just needed to take out the fucking 3 or 4 leaves I had started #cause i hated them a lot #the directionality i was trying wasnt working #so badly #also this songs lyrics like fuckin took me out one day and I was like #oh #i need to embroider these #all of a sudden #motivation was back
