I'd like to introduce to everyone this horrid thing I created about a year ago but haven't shown many people yet (probably for the best).

This is Baby. AKA The Monster. AKA Sight Tremendous and Abhorred, AKA Vile Insect, AKA A Thing Such As Even Dante Could Not Have Conceived, etc, etc. It's made from bits of scrap fabric I scrounged from various sources and is roughly the size of a human toddler. Its design is based on Mary Shelly's original descriptions of Frankenstein's creature.

But that's not all! Behold!

You can dissect this little abomination to reveal a full set of crocheted, knitted, and scrap fabric organs, all hand-stitched by yours truly!

It has a heart, stomach, lungs, liver, small and large intestine, kidneys, bladder, and, of course, a brain! So it can ponder the horrors of its own existence!

I used this pattern by Less Than Three for the heart. I ended up felting it because I screwed up most of the stitches (I was relatively new to crochet at the time). The result was a bit of a blobby mess, but oh well.

So yeah. This thing lives in my house now (my family hates it). I have yet to reap the full consequences of my hubris.

Happy Faire Friday!

For today I thought I'd share a closeup look at some of the work that went into my fire top.

In an effort to stay away from flammable materials, I made it out of scrap pieces of leather i had around the shop and fire tested it before use. :)

I wore it for the first time during last year's faire season, and it's been holding up really well since. That being said, I'm always keeping an eye out for fitting pendants to decorate it with.

Next, it's onto the leg covers and possible mask.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. I can't wait to see you guys at this upcoming faire season. ^^

A small beginning on squaring up the big blue star hexie quilt. It is nice to get back to some hand stitching.

Hello knitters, cross-stitchers, embroiderers, and any other textile artists who see this!

Does anyone know of anywhere online that offers the ability for folks to meet up virtually with each other? I'm looking for an online version of like a sewing guild. It would be nice to meet people and share WIPs and tips and tricks, but also build relationships. I'm not talking about forums or FB groups (there are plenty of FB groups and god i hate FB) - I'm looking for something more real time like discord or some kind of video chat.

If you know of something that already exists, definitely let me know. If you don't know of anything...does this sound like something you would be interested in if I can find the motivation to start something?

#i am not a bot #I'm just posting on a side blog in case i never get around to doing anything with this and then no one can hold me accountable #mwahahahaha #seriously though i need to make more friends with similar hobbies #please help #cross stitch #xstitch #embroidery #knitting #crochet #textile art #textile artist #needlepoint #latch hook #blackwork #sewing #stitching #hand stitching

My most recent cross stitch bookmark, made for my friend. Her cats name is squid, hence the theme for the bookmark!

My fall jacket needs two fixes before it's put up until autumn again.

Here's the first tear

And it's fixed.

I'll try to finish the other tear in-between planting in the afternoon.

Little anatomical heart pairing

Found 4 last (mis)prints of the ufo design, so I stitched up another one for either a wall hanging or another patch. The light beams are fun for back stitching!

I redid the art for this design a little bit ago to make it bigger for the glow-in-the-dark sticker version and I also wanted to re-stock the embroidery design with a full color variation. The original hand print above was for 4-inch hoops, but I'm thinking of making the new one for a 6-inch hoop. Do you have a preference size-wise when stitching?

[ID: A very closeup snap shot of a embroidery art piece featuring a small silver ufo lifting up a silver and spotted cow on a black fabric background and surrounded by a moon and stars in matching silver. The light beam coming down from the bottom of the ship and surrounding the cow in a loose cone shape is completely filled in with vertical lines of embroidery thread that shifts across throughout the back stitching from light yellow to bright yellow to a bright green-yellow. The stitching continues where there are lights in the ship with little colonial knots along the disc's side. End.]
