I believe the last time you all saw this hoop, it was just the blue of the waves and the writing. Since then, I've added a fair bit of pink in the coral side, using as many different stitches as possible. I love these bubbles, I was originally going to put a fish there but… Continue reading Coral Growth

TARDIS Console Progress
I've been (vvveeerrryyy) slowly painting the TARDIS console, this is the progress made in about a week and a half from when all the yellow was done. To get this worn metal effect, I painted two coats of black and one thin coat of bronze. I love it, I think it really suits the aesthetic… Continue reading TARDIS Console Progress
Project Roundup
The TARDIS console is slightly further along than it is here, but I've begun painting it! I'll add a bit of orange to the yellow crystal in the centre to give it depth, and paint the underside metallic bronze. The embroidery hoop is also coming along, I've started the coral reef on the side as… Continue reading Project Roundup
Clockwork Angel
The final Infernal Devices badge is finished, and it's Tessa's clockwork angel. I would have liked to have added something above the angel, but I had the idea after it was glued to the paperboard backing. Don't they look great? You can see the background colour gradient I was going for, though I think the jump… Continue reading Clockwork Angel
Violin Strings
I finished the second of my Infernal Devices badges, this one is inspired by Jem Carstairs (who might just be my favourite of the two boys). I was reminded with this badge just how difficult embroidering on jersey is! I must find some more plain cottons, especially in grey. I think I would've preferred the jade pendant… Continue reading Violin Strings
Making Waves
I've been starting a new embroidery hoop recently, based on one of the stories from The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo. I don't have the patience to embroider those big sections of wave entirely, so I'm using pieces of felt to block in a base colour... ...then stitching on heaps of lines to convey the… Continue reading Making Waves
Mauve Book Covers
Is this another badge I'm making? Yup! It's inspired by the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare, specifically the character Will Herondale. The reason A Tale of Two Cities is mauve is because Will describes his soul as being mauve in the second book, Clockwork Prince (p95). The set, when put together, will fade from white to black… Continue reading Mauve Book Covers
Project Roundup
I haven't been working on a lot recently, but the console remains in progress! The white shapes in between the thin white 'spokes' have been added, and as a result, the TARDIS console now looks a little like a flower from above. The new shapes are slightly raised, and will have the various knobs and… Continue reading Project Roundup
New Styles
I finished the khaki jacket! I embroidered two patches onto the arms because it looked a little plain otherwise. On the right, there's this little crest I made up: And on the left are these arrows (?) that I've seen on similar jackets. I would like to put something on the back eventually, but it's… Continue reading New Styles
Project Roundup
I'm still chugging along on the TARDIS console, I'm doing a lot of little structural details at the moment, and I'll hopefully be painting soon, if it isn't raining! These little curved supports were so fiddly! I've also started this khaki-coloured jacket that will also test the jacket/coat pattern I made (after how many jackets… Continue reading Project Roundup
