I’ve been busy prepping for Red Hot Art Fest getting patches ready and priced and stitching away at new animal skulls. Hopefully I’ll have a few new drawings stitched up and ready to go. Red Hot is only a month and a half away, mark your calendars for July 21st - 22nd, I’ll be there with my good friend @jennifer_sheely . . . . . . #handmade #embroidery #cat #cyote #cougar #patch #patchgame #stitching

More moths! This cute little guy was done by @chasetuckertattoo who’s got a great eye for color. Those peachy spots are so cute and pair perfectly with this burgundy. . . . . . . #tattoo #moth #mothtattoo

I went to the most AMAZING library in mpls and picked up Death Lamented, a history of mourning jewelry and memento mori symbolism. I’ve been going back and forth between reading and stitching up a vintage devil. This book has so many amazing pieces and I can’t wait to draft some patterns based on these traditional rings. . . . . . . #handmade #stitch #crossstitch #devil #vintage #mourningjewelry

Well I did another one. I didn’t like this one and it was a struggle to finish but it’s important to push it and get it done. . . . . . . #embroidery #moth #handmade #crossstitch #vintage

That moment that you start a new piece or project, there’s so much anticipation but you’re not sure how to take that next step? Yup feeling that’s for sure. . . . . . . #threads #handmade #embroidery #sketchbook #black #creativeblock

I haven’t made anything for awhile but I’ve been hoarding a bunch of vintage brass frames. I’m pretty stoked to see that this teeny tiny cross stitched bee fits perfectly in this frame. I haven’t made a ton of work for a minute but I’m excited to ride this one out and see how these pieces develop. . . . . . . #bee #vintage #handmade #crossstitch #embroidery

Finished my little holiday craft! Lately I’ve been hunting down a few vintage gold frames that will be filled with cross stitch pieces. I think this little moth looks right at home. What you you guys think I should work on next? . . . . . . #crossstitch #xstitch #moth #deathheadmoth #deathheadhawkmoth #handmade #vintage

Hope y’all are having a nice holiday, and you’re doing something you enjoy. I’ve got my hands on something good and spending some alone time with some crafts. It’s been way too long. . . . . . . #crossstitch #blackwork #deathheadsmoth #hawkmoth #handmade #embroidery #thread
