r/Embroidery

I saw this post on Reddit awhile back and I loved it so much that I had to embroider it 💜

Work in progress — where thread becomes texture, and every bead carries a fragment of the face.

Can’t believe I didn’t realize this subreddit existed. Hi! I wanted to show off a hand embroidered patch I made for a Project Hail Mary cosplay.

I got first place in my category at the state fair!!

My (adopted) father died on Saturday. I got the call Wednesday night, I started this project shortly after so he had some art to look at in his new hospice room.

Unfortunately, I was called late. He was comatose by the time I got there and never got to see the project even begin. It never got to brighten his spirits.

Since he was unable to see it, I figured I should show it to someone so I’m posting here. My dad was the kindest man I’d ever met and I hope to share his legacy of love.

i am very happy with the texture (he was super shaggy irl!) but feel like the color match could’ve been better. i also found it hard to differentiate between his legs and his body but i felt like outlining it would’ve undermined the shagginess so i just tried to create some separation with the thread patterns. overall i think it is super cute!!! i am super newb so plz be nice 🫣😭

Any tips for hand stitching around the edges of the lace? I think what I did will work, but time will tell 🤣

Inspiration pic included.
