#WIPWednesday • I finished the burgundy roiling and added small black French knots to the abdomen area and am now extending the nerve endings of the diaphragm. This might be the last section of this #VagusNerve #embroidery! #SciArt #MastoArt

A close up of an embroidery focused on the abdominal vagus stitched in blue chain stitch in perlé thread on dark green cotton. There are many layers of crossing wavy lines. Spiralling around the very straight main vagus is single strand whipped back stitch in electric blue. Some roiling burgundy back stitch in burgundy perlé thread is between the blue. Sparse tiny black French knots are stitched in the gut area. The nerve endings in the diaphragm area are being lengthened with two strand whipped back stitch. A needle minder in the shape of an hourglass that reads, "This is taking forever," sits near the stitches holding a needle.

Some work in progress for #WIPWednesday

Although, this has been finished for a while.

Can't take credit for the idea, that came from a random picture that popped up on the Federated timeline a while back.

But the construction is all mine.
Wasn't easy either, mostly as I am one for building in-situ with no prototypes. It's difficult to work on a circuit inside an enclosed space.

You'll see the final product tomorrow... if you are good.

Work in progress 1. The inside of the unpainted model of a UFO showing the circuitry for the lights. Annotations note: "Circuit completed with magnets on metal contacts", and "in reality, one circuit did not like both LEDs lit. I staggered the contacts so only 1 or the other LED would complete the cicuit. Hence 2 sets of holes in the base to one set of pegs in the lid".

For #WIPWednesday, some #tatting underway. I'm currently on a kick to do denim doilies, and have done 3 in #BobbinLace so far. But now I want another style.

Using the wonderful hand-dyed thread from @yarnplayer called Blue Skies.

Pattern is by Anne Orr. I recently discovered what a #TextileHistory rock star she was--art editor, writer, entrepreneur, pattern designer... and no #Wikipedia page. I'll be fixing that eventually.

#WIPWednesday • I actually managed a lot of #embroidery this week! I finished the burgundy in the left side of the abdomen and started on the right. #VagusNerve #SciArt

An image of an old engraving of a vagus nerve is embroidered on green cotton. The gut is in a large bamboo embroidery hoop. The embroidery of the main nerve lines is done in blue chain stitch in perlé cotton. The brain and some of the face is stitched in the same thread in backstitch. Details in the face are stitched in single strand floss. A bright red anatomical heart is stitched in red whipped back stitch. Around it a bright golden yellow halo in a vesica piscis shape is stitched in single strand thread. Three sets of ribs have are stitched in bright green/yellow stem stitch. There are some tiny details in different colours along some of the nerves. Burgundy roiling is stitched in the left gut area and started in the right. A needle minder in the shape of an hourglass that reads, "This is taking forever," sits near the stitches holding a needle.

I liked yesterday's #inkyDays drawing so much that I did one on watercolor paper. I also made some progress on a bigger floral piece. So much drawing today :)

#WIPWednesday is attempting to recover from transporting this Tønder lace. I took a workshop with Bobbi Donnelly and ended up trying 2 pieces, without enough bobbins. So I had to unwind my first set. Trying to re-wind them now. So far, only one thread broke.

First time I used 140/2 cotton thread. It scares me. So thin. But it is lovely and delicate in the completed pieces. I can see the appeal.

#BobbinLace #TønderLace

Close up of the mat project. You can really only see the tops of a lot of steel pins. You can kind of see the edge work on the right. It alternates between cloth stitch sections that appear fully covered, and the Copenhagen hole stitches that leave a gap in the center of the oval and all the stitches are smushed up against the edge. The pattern notes solid | hole | solid | hole, so I can remember which one to do at each section. The unworked part has the thread outline and the pin holes for the next sections. Various threads hang off the incomplete part.
I didn't think I'd get to a second project so I didn't bring more bobbins. I hastily set up for this second one. But I was able to try another new-to-me stitch, the gimp fingers. They are tricky to do with threads winding back and forth in really short order. The advice was to make sure you deal with the tension of them constantly so they don't slip around. Anyway, my little practice piece is a mess, sitting on red felt next to the pattern printouts. My honeycombs are a mess but I just wanted to get to the fingers to be sure I tried them a couple of times during the workshop with the instructor there.

#WIPwednesday • A long wait at my GP’s yesterday meant I finished my autumnal mitosis #embroidery sampler except for signing. I’ll be writing a pattern for this one! #SciArt

Working on a little experiment, with some of the prints I started from one of this year's #genuary challenges.

I've been meaning to start these for ages, but didn't have the energy until now.

#CreativeCoding #embroidery #art #GenerativeArt #IterativeArt #wip #WIPWednesday #MastoArt #MixedMedia

Oh, this one is hard to describe. On top of one of my generative art prints, with lots of blobby shapes, I've embroidered chain stitches along the edges of one of the blobby shapes.

My #WIPWednesday this week is tracking down this historic lace pricking [the paper or parchment with the pin holes for our pattern].

Found in Gertrude Whiting's "Tools and toys of stitchery" from 1928.

I found the ship--it is an Edward Savage rare print from 1799. I couldn't believe it. Anyone with insights--please share.

#WipWednesday #forj un nouveau #couteau juste pour m'amuser. 21 cm en tout, en #acier carbone #forge puis trempé, avec un aspect brut de forge. La soie de la lame est traversante et vissée au pommeau.
Le manche est en loupe de #peuplier stabilisé (par mes soins).
La mitre est en ébène et le pommeau et en laiton sur lequel j'ai limé une espèce de soleil. La lame est courte et large, ça lui donne une bonne ligne.

vidéo à l'extérieur, avec ma main qui tourne le couteau sous tous les angles, c'est la fin de journée, le soleil est rasant,

#WIPwednesday • I’m continuing the freehand burgundy in the gut area in perlé thread. I had a bit more #embroidery time this week since I’m recovering from my shingles vaccine. #SciArt #VagusNerve

You get the full piece as well as the detail because people keep asking to see my current work in context!
