Abbaetha: 🧶 #craftsky #WIP Blackwork mountain range tentatively done - I’m waiting for some goldwork supplies and may do a couched metallic thread along some of the ridges, but other than that I’m going to stop poking at it for a while and just let it sit.

😍 Stitching mavens such as Erica Wilson Her Own Self would bow to you for perpetrating this. Fine work!

Thank you!!!

This is kind of breaking my brain. But in a good way. Is there a reference photo/picture?

Sure! It’s a scene in the Carpathians. I am hopeful (strongly believe) that my little embroidery - which I do not intend to sell - is fair use.

I think technically a derivative work, significantly different enough that you're not infringing. Also, it's amazing. I 💕 blackwork and I've tried to do something like this and it did not turn out well, so 👏👏👏

Thank you for that - I have only the vaguest idea of how it works. Since I don’t sell, I figured I would be ok but I really appreciate the information. And thank you for the praise as well! It’s a really fun medium.

It is, because you have riffed on beyond the photo into something unique and itself.

Thank you both for the reassurance and the praise. 😀

Oh sorry didn't mean to imply otherwise! That's just how I pictured it :)

Oh, I didn’t think you implied otherwise, I (because I am weird) was just somehow screaming my view to the world in case stock photo detective people are coming for me. Great! Success!

That’s so neat!

I love how you use different stitches to get the different textures.

I’ve done one where I used the same stitch throughout but it was cloth - so the same texture. Here I wanted to think about different tree textures and rocks and such. And Thank you!

Thank you!

Such beautiful work.

Thank you!
