The print on my "Good Intentions Paving Company" shirt was flaking off so I sewed over it.

#joanna newsom #embroidery #annoyingly ive already done an embroidery for good intentions paving company otherwise I would have counted it for my project

Happy (late) pride!

Esme, from the album Have One On Me by Joanna Newsom.

with a heart rare and true."

On a Good Day by Joanna Newsom from the album Have One On Me.

"Will you leave me be,

so that we can stay true

I'm over halfway through all the songs I want to do embroideries for! It's only taken me just over two years!

Emily by Joanna Newsom from the album Ys.

"Peonies nod in the breeze,

and while they wetly bow

with hydrocephalitic listlessness,

ants mop up their brow

and everything with wings is restless,

aimless drunk and dour;

butterflies and birds collide

at hot, ungodly hours"

#joanna newsom #embroidery #Emily #ys #ive done all the songs from ys now!!!

To my new followers from the "I was born to love" post- I am transgender! I've just had to go on a blocking spree of transphobes. If you don't support trans rights, leave me and this blog alone.

Easy by Joanna Newsom from the album Have One On Me.

#easy #joanna newsom #have one on me #embroidery #the dimensions on this one made it a pain to photograph #also the stitch for the sky was surprisingly time consuming

[heart-so-savage]

Happy pride everyone!

#embroidery #not jn #pride flag #the stitch for the red stripe is called van dyke stitch

You and Me, Bess by Joanna Newsom from the album Have One On Me.

"And when we were found,

I know we both grieved.

My heart made the sound of

snow falling from eaves.

You and me, Bess,

we was as thick as thieves."

#you and me bess #joanna newsom #embroidery #have one on me #hanging tw #i was trying to do something clever with the persective for this one and im not sure if i like how it turned out

Sadie by Joanna Newsom, from the album Milk Eyed Mender.

"Sadie, white coat,

you carry me home.

And bury this bone,

and take this pine-cone."

#sadie #joanna newsom #milk eyed mender #embroidery #this piece is dedicated to my dog cassie who passed away earlier this year

Not Joanna Newsom related but I thought I'd share it here. This is my first attempt at doing embroidery on uncounted fabric, it's going to be a part of my art history project for college.

#embroidery #not jn #trans pride #pride #i was in the mood for something a little rebellious for this project #(for context the lion and the unicorn are the heradic symbols of britain) #the embroidery style is based on crewel work but definitely shouldnt be considered actual crewel work

Sawdust and Diamonds by Joanna Newsom.

"Enough of this terror. We deserve to know light, and grow evermore lighter and lighter."
