Elephant

 





So this the finished product and result of about 15 hours of embroidery.
(I'm a perfectionist and if it ain't perfect then I undo the stitching and start again. Same goes for colour continuity, if I don't like, it's out and another is put in its place.)

Rainbows of thread

This is just what my collection looked like before my crazy organising took place.

I love the colours and textures of thread, especially when you have a few together, like this..

information is beautiful

i agree with that statement.
but that statement is also a website!
they create visualisations of information, statistics, ideas etc and they are beautiful.
there are too many to just post here, so i'll just trust that you will all visit the website.

you can spend hours just going through
here is a link to start you off:

Holidays = free time. As a spoilt uni student I had a lot of holidays, so I decided to undertake some embroidery. I got so enthusiastic that I even sorted out my threads and how beautiful does the box look? You can also see, in the bottom right hand corner, my finished product, a photo of which I will post soon. :)

mountains

Oh how I love skiing.

christmas tree!

in switzerland, you actually use a real tree at christmas. and real candles.delightful to spend hours watching. and we always bet on which candle will go out last, (which is always one near the bottom because the heat rises so the top ones melt faster).

Close up.

I love close-ups and this was just a crisp, clean view that I had to capture one sunny morning in Switzerland

Sunshine

i was so lucky to spend 6 weeks waking up to this vista, although i must point out that sunrise was actually about 9am and i got up in the dark everyday

a castle!

peeking over the hedge, the local castle
a beautiful, majestic, worn down building

Absolutely breathtaking.

A beautiful, magical animation by Ryan Woodward.
I can't stop watching it.
