#embroidery — Public Fediverse posts

Day 13 #SciArtSeptember: diamond. This #SciArt #embroidery, push, pull, & tingle (2018) features a diamond shape to show the tension in my paresthesiac hands.

It’s #WorldSepsisDay. Here’s my liver #embroidery, tethered by fluid & ligaments (2023), with a close up of the beaded strictures in my biliary ducts & occasional liver abscesses that have hospitalized me with septicaemia multiple times. #SciArt #PSC

Giving away for free the business idea. For the better of humanity.
Behold - baseball cap with the two front panels made fully from vercro loop fabric. Not some small square patch, but whole front. Or even full cap. Might be also valid idea.
To put colorful, meaningful, or silly, or depending on your mood, embroidered Velcro patches whenever you want.
I have checked, no such caps are being sold on the internet anywhere.
Just send me such a cap when you are running a big velcro cap and velcro patch business 😏

Not just 'Grandma Hobbies' - #DIY and #woodworking ( #GrandpaHobbies ?) are making a comeback as well!

The Comforting Resurgence of ‘ #GrandmaHobbies ’

In search of calm and community, new generations are learning centuries-old skills.

By Kate Brennan, July 18, 2026

Excerpt: " 'Younger generations’ appetite for hands-on activities — what the internet has dubbed 'grandma hobbies' — has reached far beyond Michigan. In North Carolina, John C. Campbell Folk School, the oldest folk school in the country, has a long waiting list for its teen program; just a few years ago, it was struggling to fill all the spots. Ely Folk School in Minnesota has also reported a post-pandemic influx of younger volunteers.

" 'Grandma hobbies reconnect us to ourselves,' said Cal Newport, a professor of computer science at Georgetown University who writes about technology, focus and productivity. 'These activities are hard, in that they require time and concentration to master. But they also offer clear and fulfilling rewards.'

"Mari Sanborn, the communications coordinator for the Folk School Alliance, a nonprofit that supports #FolkEducation across the United States and Canada, said learning #handicrafts offers a way to reclaim a sense of community as well as #TraditionalSkills.

" 'It’s a way of holding onto things that might one day be lost,' she said."

St. Rose of Lima

She was born Isabel Flores de Oliva (April 20, 1586-August 24, 1617). She was a member of the Third Order of St. Dominic in Lima, Peru, Spanish Empire. She was known for her life of severe penance & her care of the poor of the city through her own private efforts.

Rose of Lima was born to a noble family & is the patroness saint of embroidery, gardening, cultivation of blooming flowers, florists, embroiderers, sewing lace, gardeners, people ridiculed or misunderstood for their piety, the resolution of family quarrels, against vanity, & the indigenous peoples of the Americas. She was the 1st person born in the Americas to be canonized as a saint.

As a saint, Rose of Lima has been designated as a co-patroness of the Philippines, along with Pudentiana. Both saints were moved to Second-class patronage in September 1942 by Pope Pius XII. But Rose remains the main patroness of Peru & the local people of Latin America. Her image was formerly featured on the highest denomination banknote of Peru.

Her nickname “Rose” comes from a story in her infancy: a servant claimed to have seen her face change into a rose. In 1597, Isabel was confirmed by the Archbishop of Lima, Toribio de Mogrovejo, who was also declared a saint. She then formally changed her name to Rose (Rosa in Spanish) at that time.

When she was a young girl, she copied Catherine of Siena. She started praying 3x a week & performed severe penances in secret. She was admired for her beauty. She cut off her hair & rubbed peppers on her face, to distract from her beauty. She was upset that men were starting to notice her, & not for her spirituality. She turned away all of her suitors. Her family wasn’t having any of that.

Much to her parents’ chigrin, Rose spent a LOT of time thinking about the Blessed Sacrament, which she received daily. This is rare, & odd, for the time. She wanted to take a vow of virginity. But her parents didn’t want that! Out of frustration, her dad gave her a room to herself at the family home.

In addition to fasting, she permanently abstained from eating meat. She helped the sick & hungry around her community. She would bring them to the room, her dad built, to take care of the sick. To help her family financially, Rose would sell fine needlework she made. She would also take flowers to the market to sell as well.

To help the poor, she would make & sell lace & embroidery. This was in addition to all the prayer & she did penance in a small grotto she’d built. She was otherwise a recluse. She only left her room to go to church.

She attracted the attention of the friars of the Dominican Order. She wanted to become a nun. But her dad wasn’t hearing any of that noise. So instead, she entered the Third Order of St. Dominic, while she was living in her parents’ home.

When she was 20, she started wearing the habit of a tertiary & took a vow of perpetual virginity. A tertiary is a lay member of a religious order’s Third Order, who lives in the secular (worldly) world while they strive for Christian perfection by following the spiritual way of life associated with that particular order. The First Order is the clergy, the Second Order is the religious women in the community (official nuns).

She allowed herself only 2 hours a night of sleep, at most, so she could have more time to devote to prayer. She also wore a heavy metal crown made of silver, that had small spikes on the inside. This was to imitate the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus.

For 11 years, she lived like this. Throughout this time, there would be periods of ecstasy. She passed away on August 24, 1617, at the age of 31. She had been battling a long illness. It’s said that she prophesied her death date.

Her funeral was held in the cathedral. It was attended by all the public authorities of Lima. August 23 is her feast day. It’s August 30th in the Traditional calendar.

Rose was beatified by Pope Clement IX on May 10, 1667. She was canonized on April 12, 1671 by Pope Clement I. She was the first Catholic in the Americas to be officially declared a saint.

Her shine is inside of the convent of St. Dominic in Lima. The Catholic Church says that many miracles happened after her death: she cured a leper; & at the time of her death, the city of Lima smelled like roses; roses started falling from the sky.

Rose’s skull, surmounted with a crown of roses, is on public display at the Basilica in Lima, Peru.

1/5 A new art book is ready. I don't know why I craft them nor how to explain what I do. It's an intuitive way of working with colours, textures, mixed media and collage, for seeing, touching, and more. A very #meditative work.

This one was the attempt to find something beautiful in our maize #monocultures that I detest.
Just browse my book here.

I wanted to practice my satin stitch, and just watched Bofuri, so of course I decide to try my hand at the rose sigil Maple has on her armor. I made it too large I think, it's taking three million years to make, but progress is progress and I plan on finishing it.

I really, *really*, think an embroidery hoop will make my life so much easier

Tried my hand at embroidery for the first time, to provide a Pictish symbol for an early medieval costume I'm making. It isn't perfect but it looks the part I think. #embroidery #Pictish #Picts #Scotland #EarlyMedieval

#December 9, 1608
#OTD John #Milton, #English #Poet, is born.

His #Elegy, called #Lycidas, was dedicated to his #Friend, Edward King, who died young.

The #Poem mentions 11 #Flowers at his #Funeral including the #Primrose, #TuftedCrowToe, #Gessamine, #Pansy, #Violet, #MuskRose, #Woodbine, & #Cowslips.

The #Verse ends:

Every #Flower that #Sad #Embroidery wears:
Bid #Amaranthus all his #Beauty shed,
& #Daffadillies fill their cups with #Tears,
To strew the #Laureate #Hearse where #Lycid lies.

🌊Made by women working together, this form of collective #art
depicts the changing #Ganga delta.

#Birds🐦, #boats⛵️, #plants🌱, #snake charmers 🐍and #farmers’ lives 🧑‍🌾 are common motifs.
