4 am means it's time to clog up your dash with personal posts anyways looking at ppls embroidery and my own realizing both how far ive come and how much more i can still learn/do is very cool. no i dont want to write an email in japanese.

#sel speaks #i started in december of 2019!! which is very funny and conveniently RIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC #which is like. when eveyrone got into it except i got a month of extra practice lol #and to be fair i did my first real piece once i got home #but i found those photos #and like!!! i did get better!!! my stitches are cleaner now! i have a better handle on how to make things look consistent!#and i have made so many mistakes that i didnt realize were mistakes #that made everything warped etc #but ive actually gotten better and thats like. tangible!!!!#at the same time there are so many cool styles that i have yet to try #and i have so much room to grow technically and like from a basic art perspective #(obvs from the art perspective like i'll probably never be able to do like Original Needlepainting which im fine with lol)#anyways this was prompted by me seeing a hoop with some of the cleanest split stitches ever #like at first glance i thought it was machine #but you can see the texture and it's GORGEOUS #and i always thought the fun of filling stitches like that was that it idnt matter what you did #but like. if you plan it out (maybe have direction lines? practice at having more even stitching? invest in a stand?)#it can look SO PRETTY. the design was also like not super flashy it was just so well made #and that's just like. a really good example of an extremely basic thing #like im trying something similar out with my satin stitch ofmd hoop #to copy the style of the landscape artists i see #and i think im doing okay at it?#but doing dense filling like that is definitely more my vibe #might try it out when i do more chainsaw man #although those are all gonna be black and red so it'll probably be hard to see for the all black stuff
