Yes, I am alive!

Yikes! I blogged last time on September. Forgive me! To be honest, I have finished only 2 modern works and started like 7 new ones. I really need to finish thing before starting something new! Heeeelp!

Anyways, I can blog about one of the finished modern works, as the surprise gift was given on xmas.

Let me introduse Leet! Leet is talkative creature from Anarchy Online and Secret World games. This Leet is made of fakeleather, by hand + with love, naturally. I met the recipient of the gift at the game Secret World and I decided to make him a xmas-present. The tiny bear around his neck is called Einstein. It's also from game Secret World. That one I ordered online, as it would have been too small to make it.

In near future I have plenty to blog, as I have pile of pictures from Southern German museums and castles.

Birthday card for one friend

I made this simple card for my friend last week.

New project

I started this scroll yesterday. It is going to be handed out at Aarnimetsä's Investiture. Wish me luck!

R.I.P Mick Aston

Yesterday I heard really sad news. My biiiig hero Mick Aston died few days ago. I even cried hours, so sad I am still.

We will miss you so much Mick...

Latest project

I can finally report about my latest project, as I gave the present to my friend yesterday.
This is the better part of the project, 14th century german brick stitch with naturally dyed wool and silk. Later I will post pictures of finishing touches of it.

new dress

This is picture of the fabric I (aka my seamtress Mom) am going to use for my new Cthulhu- dress. We have big historical dances few times a year and this dress should be finished just before RopeCon. It's not going to be historical dress, more like geeky,as there will be bling blibg- tentacles on the dress x)

I finally found way to use my handspun linen

I finally figured out how to use my handspun linen. Yay! This is 'bathmitten' for my friend. The 'design' aint as good as I hoped, but its usable and functional. I used dalarna stitch to make it, not the normal finnish one.

Just testing how to post from phone

As the tobic says, I am just testing. And adding a new photo of Frienshiibooks I made. Theme was 'Favorite actor/actress'

I just need to finish the outlines... The man, who ordered this from me, was really excited when I showed this one. All I need to do is black outlines and then it's ready to be attached to his light blue tunic.

Another new embroidery...

This is my new, very simple, project I started after I decided to take a short break from embroidering my silk on silk order. I have actually dyed that green wool by myself, with red onion peels. I love that color. The canvas is, if I remember right, 16count, so each 'normal' stich is about 3mm long. The whole embroidery is going to be about 14.5 x 9cm

Lately I have been thinking about selling few of my embroideries over Etsy.com. I am just not sure should I sell them as final product (like needlebook or bag) or just as simple embroidery (so the buyer can use it as she wish). Any suggestions/opinions?

Comission progress

I have namaged to done quite a lot of this celtic embroidery. I also started my other commission work, but it's a bit frustrating atm. I have never done silk on silk and that's a bit problematic. Idon't like the outcome at all and I may even undo the embroidery and start again. I'll post pictures as soon as I managed to do something decent.
