Progress update on the coral cross stitch pattern! I'm using half-stitches for the first pass, this way the shape appears rapidly. A second pass will turn them into cross stitches. #embroidery

Progress on the coral embroidery project, with the pattern printout on the right.

About a third of the canvas is covered with half stitches

The other day I started a new cross-stitch project. I drew this coral pixel art myself in Aesprite, now to put it to fabric!

Start of a cross-stitch project of a pixel art coral, with a chart next to it. The chart uses four colors (white, coral, light purple, and navy blue)

I thought I'd try posting a #pico8 cartridge to the official site. I'm starting with one I haven't shown off yet: a hitomezashi embroidery pattern editor! See the link below for a live version and more background info! www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=158...

The other day I started a new cross-stitch project. I drew this coral pixel art myself in Aesprite, now to put it to fabric!

I made a #pico8 animation of a cassette tape! You can find the cartridge on my GitHub here: github.com/ptrgags/pico...

I took a page out of @jenivievedesign.bsky.social's book. I got a pack of holographic laminate sheets to add some iridescence to my art! I picked a pack with geometric patterns as that best fits my art style. #arttradingcards #aceo

Art trading card doodle in green and yellow with iridescent vertical lines on top where the light hits it. The iridescence comes from the holographic layer

Picture of the doodle in less lighting so you can see the pattern better.

The top left was a polka dot pattern turned into ladybug-like creatures. The top right is a decorative leaf with a... Slug? With three eyes.

The bottom right is a coral-shaped green creature under the sun. The creature has a mustache and has one eyebrow raised.

The bottom left is horizontal stripes with diffusion-limited aggregation patterns that kinda look like roots

Sheet of holographic laminate sheet. The light is angled to show off how it produces iridescent rainbow patterns. This pattern has a grain along the length of the page, kinda like brushed metal

I'm trying to find a way to store my embroidery projects (including future ones I make) in a way that I'll actually view and enjoy them... Any ideas? My first thought is something along the lines of a 3-ring binder but smaller. Not sure how to mount these as "pages" though. #crossstitch #blackwork

Eight cross stitch and blackwork embroidery patches. All 50x70 squares (except the bottom right one we don't talk about that...)

The fabric is not all the same count, but the largest plastic canvas one would fit in a 4x6 inch rectangle

Older embroidery patches. 2-3 inch squares

Latest sketch: a screen scrambler!🍳 I'm using some offscreen buffers to copy and paste chunks of pixels. There's a feedback loop - the cursor can select previously pasted tiles! Live version: ptrgags.dev/p5-sketchboo... #p5js #processing #animation #creativecoding

There's no end to this art. #artisttradingcards #aceo #fountainpen #doodle

An abstract doodle where the patterns spill across three cards.

However, the colors do something different. The first card uses black and blue ink, the second blue and magenta, the third uses pink and black

But wait! If you move the first card to the end, it loops!

And again, moving the first card to the end produces a third pattern

Yesterday I finished making this unusual clock. It lets you set what hour you wake up/go to sleep. Then you can see what proportion of the day has elapsed so far in a visual way. Live version: ptrgags.dev/p5-sketchboo... #p5js #clock #creativecoding

$Screenshot of my Waking Hours Clock demo. It's a 24 hour clock dial (with just an hour hand). It is divided into two portions. a large orange arc for waking hours, and a smaller purple arc for sleeping hours. There are white numbers outside the circle from 0 (midnight) to 23 (11:00 PM). Another set of blue fractions inside the circle indicate proportions of daytime/nighttime.$

I've been itching to do something with pixel art. I have some ideas that'll take a while. For now, a little loop. #pixelart #animation #isometric #aseprite

I made a set of stamps for making rooms and corridors. It makes the kind of maze you find in tile-based dungeon crawlers #linocut #stampmaking

Block print of a tabletop dungeon maze printed using a handful of small linocut stamps for the different room/hallway types

My favorite stamp I've made so far is this shrimp! #linocut #stampmaking #blockprint

A linocut print of a cartoon shrimp with a big googly eye. On the right, the stamp itself, positioned to be a mirror image of the print

Shrimp roll! No, not sushi, the shrimp stamped multiple times on a card, like an animation of a shrimp rolling off the page to the left

This week I tried a new medium -- block printing! It pairs quite nicely with my art style. #linocut #printmaking #stampmaking

Two prints. On the left, a white on black print of a braid repeated several times at a diagonal on an index card

On the right, a white on black print reminiscent of the veins of a leaf, though the small veins are a bit more grid like.

Above each card is the block I carved

Finished! #blackwork #embroidery

More progress on the yellow stitches! #blackwork #embroidery

Peter Gagliardi@ptrgags.bsky.social · 4mo ago

More progress on the yellow stitches! #blackwork #embroidery

The same embroidery, now with more detail in yellow stitches. There's still a few areas yet to be filled in

Finished the white stitches, now I can start the last color! Yes, this is using the colors from the non-binary flag, just in time for #pridemonth! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #blackwork #embroidery

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I made some new bookmarks for the occasion #pridemonth

A pair of bookmarks. One is a Progress Pride flag, the other is also a Progress flag but with squiggly, stylized lines.

Above it, a bunch of watercolor brush pens used in the making of the bookmarks.

Earlier work in progress picture with only about half of the stripes colored in, and before I traced the outlines with fineliner pen.

Same abstract embroidery pattern, now with yellow stitches added to the plaid region in the middle

Progress on the third color of stitches! #blackwork #embroidery #abstractart

Happy #pridemonth! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 I had cross-stitched this Progress flag a year ago. That was before I was on Bluesky so I never posted it. #crossstitch #embroidery
