#watercolor embroidery

Physical mediums are expensive and they scare me but WATERCOLOR EMBROIDERY!!! AGGHH!! I know that running my fingers all over it isn't good for the paint or the thread but it's really really tempting.

( this one is a map of our D&D homebrew setting I'm making for my partner's birthday. >:) )

I made this gentleman! The pattern is from AfriquePax, and it looked a little plain when I worked it up (and also I dropped what turned out to be magenta ink on it). My homosexual audacity kicked in and told me that surely I could figure out how to paint aida cloth. I wanted to make it more flowy and abstract, then I remembered that I am an extremely literal person.

You can see the texture here a little bit; I used some dry brushing to make the weave of the cloth stand out more in places. I used a mixture of my usual Culture Hustle palette and a cheaper ArtMinds one, and the difference was really interesting; the cheaper one was less vivid, obviously, but also much more oily? It kind of sat on the cloth instead of penetrating it unless I thinned it way down, so I did the detail work with the nicer paints.

Overall I like the effect! I think I'll definitely try it again. This is going to my brother for his birthday, so I'm gonna paint the hoop and clean it up that way.

Thunderbolts (2016), No. 7 Variant Cover by Marco Checchetto

a Marvel Trumps Hate ( @marveltrumpshate ) 2021 commission created with embroidery floss, watercolors, fabric, and fine glitter paint on aida cloth in a 10" bamboo hoop frame

A lot of life happened between the commission date and now, but I'm very proud of how this turned out, and I know that 2021 Rebecca wouldn't have been able to create this, so the time was worth it. (No offense 2021 Rebecca, we've just grown as an artist.)

Bonus for details and ✨sparkles✨

Still she searched, and dreamed, and waited, for a way to change the Dread Wolf's heart.

I'm a hopeless Solas lover and so I decided to embroider the final epilogue slide between solas and a romanced inquisitor~ I'm really happy with how it came out!!!

Here is the finished embroidery with the Man himself <3

This was truly an amazing experience. It was my first convention and the fact that I got to meet Jon really made it special.

Jon was an absolute sweetheart. He was very impressed with my work and told me I did a good job (;A;)

I will cherish this forever
