I made this today, I’m working on my crafty resolution of making something every day. This was today’s make. It was about 3.5 hours of stitching and I just kinda winged it from a photo.
The body and cap are stuffed with polyester wadding-probably not the best idea, but it seemed to work ok.
This is really cool! I love the fabric and the stumpwork is cool. I’ve never tried to do that before. Well done you!
Absolutely love the dimension! It’s sculptural! I hope to see more of your work!
I’ve been doing this as well! not completing, but working on something everyday. making an effort to be creative. I can’t wait to hear how yours goes!
That looks awesome! I love the texture you got with the floss 
I am going to count working on something as making something, but I am a fast crafter, because I tend to lose interest if things stretch out. I try to get things done in one sitting-unless it’s a quilt, then it might be two 
This looks so cool! The background fabric sets the scene very well.
Both of you keep an eye out next month for the Thing-A-Day craftalong where we commit to working on something every day of February! You’ll have a head start on momentum and we’d love to share that spirit.
Woot!
Great resolution 
and the mushroom looks amazing, the backing is also wonderful, makes it all way more magical
I also seem to lose interest if the project lags on and on…I will look forward to that challenge…it will help destash and if I use scraps, I am ticking off a lot of craftalongs!
I planned to commit to the Feb craftalong for sure. Not so for sure I’ll be able to make awesome stumpwork 
hoops in one day though, wow!
Cool! I love the background fabric you chose to go with it. Very fun and funky.
I’d never heard of stumpwork before the Craft Stars garage sale. I love the idea of adding dimension to an embroidery hoop, I feel like it opens a whole new world of possibilities! Your mushroom definitely ‘pops’ and that background fabric is perfect!
I’m also impressed by your resolution. I would love to do something creative each day, that’s something I definitely need to work on (especially if I can find quick crafts that I can actually finish in a day, then I’d really feel accomplished!)!
This is awesome. And I like the spotted background. It looks spore-like.
Love your stumpwork mushroom.
Your choice of background fabric totally complements the stumpwork mushroom
And well done you! You’re doing fab with your crafty resolution!
This came out great! Is the background fabric one of your own dye designs, too?
I love it, especially the mushroom cup.
@AntBee the fabric is a batik that someone sent me in a swap (I think) I wish I could dye fabric like that, it’s awesome
that is gorgeous - I love that fabric you stitched it on too! Very bright and dynamic
This is wonderful. I love the way it blends so well with the fabric.
I love how organic that mushroom looks! It’s almost like you just plucked it from the ground and placed it on the fabric.
I’m very impressed with your thing a day resolution! It’s inspiring me to dig out my temperature scarf from 2018 (I think) and finish it!
