Threading pearl by pearl and so much can go wrong ~ or right? It’s a tedious mix of fun and frustration.

Testing various beads….. only to order more! Paper embroidery is slow and fun.

It’s been ages since I embroidered in paper, but I do believe it’s time! 🪡✍️

Ugh, it’s been some time since I’ve been this excited about something I’ve drawn. 😂 However, alas these test prints just aren’t good enough.

This is the Dachshund of my series Corpse Pets; fluffy beasts with corpse paint. 🥰

Hm, what should I add next to the collar? 🪡✍️

The sun is the best at lighting!

I look forward to the day when I’m better at this, because right now it’s slow and confusing. 😅

I love pets and I love corpse paint ~ hence Corpse Pets! I’m doing test prints of my new series of beloved pets, starting out with six popular dog breeds…

I keep testing… 🪡

The seed beads are stitched, while the longer bugle beads and the tear are temporarily laid out.

April was…

Spring sun finding its way into my home.
Sunsets walking home from gigs.
Pale coffee.
Cherry tree fireworks from an allergy safe distance.
Cozy neighborhood nights, dark northern sky.
Rediscovering paper embroidery.
