'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

PREFACE: READ CAREFULLY. You will need to contact the seller directly that you are interested, and they will stock it for you. These are the same guys that sell the 2 way stretch mink that Mantacraft found a bit back This fur is not as dense as gummy or sunplus but still strong and nice. 1/3

Foot traffic around the area right behind my apartment normally: 🦗🦗🦗🦗 Foot traffic right behind my apartment while I have the most THICC 🍒🍑 suit I have to work on out back ? Parents and their 3-6 year olds just taking a sweet ass stroll all the way - 10 pm. Fml 🤦‍♀️ someday I’ll get privacy.

Me compressor and airbrush are taking turns being jerks. But we persevere.

Why is there an upcharge for complex pattern designs? This one piece took 5 hours to embroider. Just the stitching. That doesnt include digitizing the files or the post processing. More complex equals a lot more time and skill. I don't charge more for no reason

Little demonstration of his wings, I'm very pleased with how I got them to work! I tried out a split wing shape that can fold over itself. Each has one magnet in the primary feathers and two in the secondaries to hold it in a natural looking open or folded pose.

Shiny new microraptor! It's been a while since I've had a fun, experimental personal project like this. He's got sharp little claws and realistically foldable wings. (I'll be carrying him around at #DinoConUK, not a vendor this year but I can't resist making a new creature to bring along anyway...)

A sparkling plush microraptor with its wings spread. Its plumage is midnight blue with silver glitter, apart from the white chest and two long white tail feathers. The face and feet are bright blue, and the eyes are silver. It has shiny black plastic claws. The plush microraptor perches on the arm of a garden chair, balanced on its two feet with its wings folded at its sides. The secondary feathers overlap the primary feathers.The plush microraptor leans forwards, still perched and balanced on the arm of the chair.
