So glad you like it! I was trying for an organic feel like a coral reef. Learned a lot while making it!

here are some highlights…

Super unique and so fun! Each one a little masterpiece.

Thank you again MM!

Yes! I love the organic feel. The mossy parts are my fave but I love that beaded part that’s very coral-y. It was hard to capture in the photos!

Ooooo! Very cool. Are those circles felted? And the stars look like pottery! :star_struck:

I made the stars a while back out of polyclay. and yes the circles are wool felting.
the pink strips are silk worm cocoons that I got a long while back.

so glad you like it :slight_smile:

I received a creative piece from @Dfabbric yesterday. She used thread scraps and machine embroidery on a translucent background to create the piece. Here’s a photo of the front:

And a photo half in the light of the window so you can see through it.

I may try to hang it on the curtain rod in my craft room like a sun catcher!

Holy WHAT?! That’s incredible! :exploding_head:

Such cool techniques used!
-I love the felted bits on the piece from @goatgoddesss
-the sampler of stitch types in @MightyMitochondria’s piece
-the mix of fabric and thread in @Kwality570’s
-the smooth satin stitches on @curiousfae’s
-the combo of paint, beads, and threads in @Abbeeroad’s
and now the scrap thread stitching on @Dfabbric’s!
Once again impressed with the creativity of this group!
