Space Craft! Make NASA-Inspired Creations for World Embroidery Day
It’s time to get crafty with some needle and thread. At NASA, we hope to inspire art of all kinds. To highlight #WorldEmbroideryDay on July 30, we want to know: does our imagery inspire you? Show us your art and we may feature it on social media.
How?
Search for a NASA image that inspires you. Here are a few places to get you started: Hubble, James Webb Space Telescope, Ocean Color, Landsat and Earth Observatory
Create. Over the years, we've seen a growing number of embroidered pieces that showcase our organization's research, especially with needlepoint.
Share your creation, along with the image it was inspired by, on social media using the hashtag #NASAEmbroidery. We will share selected pieces on July 30 for World Embroidery Day
Why?
NASA imagery has many functions. From studying distant galaxies to tracking ocean health, our scientists use these images to not only monitor our home planet, but better understand life beyond our solar system.
Embroidery is an ancient craft that has experienced a revival over the years. It involves decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply thread or yarn. Have you recently taken up embroidery? What images are you inspired by? We’d love to see it.

Create and Share Your #NASAEmbroidery
Take a picture of your piece and upload it to Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr or Facebook. Make sure you use the hashtag #NASAEmbroidery so we know that you are taking part in the event and make sure that your privacy permissions allow us to view your post.
If the piece catches our eye, we may share your work on NASA’s main social media accounts as well as theme-related ones. We may also feature your art in a NASA Flickr gallery and our Tumblr pages. We’ll contact you directly to grant us permission to feature your work. You can follow @NASA on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for embroidery creations, which will be featured from July 30-Aug. 1

The chessboard landscape ai image is haunting me. stop sharing it please and redirect your attention to actual artists.
Here are some works by Jacek Yerka, a traditional painter and a big inspiration for me since I first discovered his paintings.
Sourced from Yerkaland official page of Jacek Yerka and Polish Masters of Art
Edit: I accidentally included one work by a different artist!
The last painting, Krynica was made by Jacek Szynkarczuk

🐎Yer Alright, Girl~🐎
I found a beautiful black and white photo online that I immediately thought of as Arthur, so naturally, I drew him with my in-game grey dapple thoroughbred, Cirrus. Got her to max bonding level already and I JUST entered chapter 3.
But I've become obsessed with this game and well, I guess better 6 years later rather than never! I really do adore the story, the characters, it's all such a beautiful masterpiece. Arthur, as you can tell, is my main obsession though. I want nothing more than to cherish this man till the day I die. I have SO many feelings about this game.
Hence why he's become a strong art subject for me, I also really enjoy testing myself with the hat, I hate drawing hats 😂 But something about his I like. So I'm sorry about my obsession, it will continue ♡
Roger Clark, you're my hero.
