#frenchknots — Public Fediverse posts

I’ll never forget those eyes: At our #museum animation, a five-year-old girl watched me #embroidering - shyly from a distance. I encouraged her to come and have a closer look. As she came curiously, I let her feel my fabric: ‘Look, I’m embroidering #moss! It’s knobbly like real moss.’
Her eyes in her happy face were the very picture of awe and curiosity about #nature and #embroidery. Her Grandpa: 'Can we come again?!' That's what many of our visitors do.

🧵 A new project for our #museum animations (a table with volunteers working on different embroidery ideas. Everybody is invited to ask curious questions or to learn how to stitch.)

#Embroidery on gauze and/or paper for an #artBook. Working title: Blessures - injuries - Verletzungen. I'll add the coming photos as a thread.

Art is not always a grand plan. This piece was created purely as a test: I wanted to see what was possible with hand-made silk paper. And when I didn't feel like planning a new project for the animation at the cultural heritage centre, I simply embroidered moss onto it. People were crazy about the moss!
You don't have to be perfect, just start to experiment and play!

Tell me these aren’t some cute little toesies. #embroidery #wip #frenchknots

Embroidery I completed a couple of years ago. #embroidery #Needlework #TextileArt #SlowStitching #FrenchKnots

I hated homework in #needlework at school. Now I have to #embroider my name until our International #Embroidery Festival. Our embroidery club displays a big board with the first names of all members. Almost all of them embroider traditional patterns in cross stitch. I have to be stubborn again and immortalise myself in #moss. The preparations for #stitching #moss. (order of steps in AltText) @embroidery #textileArts #FrenchKnots #inspiredByNature

Do you remember how I decided to #embroider #mosses in a 3-D way?

SLOWLY, I advance.
I found out that the secret lies in quite #natural = irregular #stitches and mixing #colours and #yarns. I'm using mainly #FrenchKnots (twined 1-5x), but also free #stitching where I later cut some of the threads open. Some glossy #yarn between imitates humid #moss.
