Hello, my friends! I hope things are going well. Mostly I’ve migrated by blabbings onto my Patreon page, at MsFledermaus Arts, but it really doesn’t hurt to have a quick word here now and again.
Recently a friend of mine recommended me as a teacher for a community education embroidery class. After I fought of the Impostor’s Syndrome, I applied and was accepted! Since I was a last-minute replacement for someone, I had about a week to make up a coherent embroidery sampler, make a stitch guide, and trace off a handful of the new sampler designs on some good fabric for beginners. It went pretty well, so much so that since I have a handful left over, I’m offering a few in my online shop just for fun.
And the people I know have been flooding me with requests for more samplers and patterns. And I love you so much, I really do, so what could I do but whomp up somthing fun for you? So you’ll also find the “Bad Sampler”, full of fun weird things that are a pain to stitch but also very educational. You want to practice stitching teeth? Well, now you can, on a box that’s waving lollipops at you to entice you nearer. It’s great fun, and I’m planning to work on one as well, just because I also like fun.
This weekend I’m planning to draw up more patterns to offer too, since so many of you asked so nicely. My weird little head is just chock full of ideas that can’t wait to take life on a piece of fabric. And I can’t wait to share it all with you…
Much love, Mausi…
I am so freaking proud of you and HAPPY for this amazing new journey for you! Gosh…hmmm there are so many things I’d love to learn. How to embroider crows, ravens, owls, & vultures. How to embroider skulls, teeth, bone, and anatomically correct hearts. How to do light and shadow work better. How to more effectively add beads. Momento Mori pieces. This is just stuff off the top of my head. Hugs!
I’m excited to share it all with people! I think as time goes by I’ll do a few online tutorials as well!
