An embroidery piece of the luggage from the Discworld series, ivory teeth, lolling red tongue and almost two dozen legs included. I somehow also managed to make it seem like it's grinning. Took me two months with two-thread embroidery. 😂

The University of Barcelona's Medicine Faculty has temporarily installed a giant heart made by the Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, with the building's columns acting as the ribcage.

The objective of this work of art is to raise awareness about cardiovascular illnesses, which are the leading cause of death worldwide.

The work is titled El cor secret (The Secret Heart). The heart measures 13 metres tall and 10 metres wide, and weighs 150 kg. It's made of synthetic materials and painted by hand. It had previously been shown in Germany in 2014 and was supposed to arrive to Plensa's home city sooner, but it was delayed because of covid. Instead, in 2020, Plensa donated one of his famous head sculptures to this same building, to thank medicine professionals and students for their work during the pandemic.

Internet, the child would like me to show you this map of Hyrule she made, which I have been assured is topographically accurate.

PROBABLY NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY LITTLE BEE FRIEND BUT, HERE HE IS

A work in progress. That's after like 2 hours?? Ish. Of working on him.

If there's sound, don't worry about it, my husband was playing Fable 2 while I worked.

For everyone wanting to know what the embroidery jacket as a whole looks like because it's been a while: this is it. As you can see, it's getting crowded - but not nearly crowded enough to stop. My estimate is that it'll take me at least a few more years to finish this project. Possibly a decade if I really do want to fill every single as of yet empty space.

idk who needs to read this but you can make things for yourself. Without excuses. People/friends/family are not owed things from you. And don't get me wrong, giving people gifts is one of my favorite things to do but I get so burned out by it.

My dad's favorite question when he sees me working on a new project is "who's it for?" and then looks vaguely disappointed in me when I say it's for myself 9 times out of 10 and then I feel guilty cause I feel like I make too many things for myself.

He is incorrect. Make things for yourself. I love making things for other people but I also love making things for myself, and I don't need to justify the second. Neither do you.
