I am in the early stages of this embroidery panel. I know Fern's face is all off, but it needs all the detail to make it work. Her eyebrows and eyelids etc are black outlines.
I'm sharing a tiny book I made a few weeks ago. It's a little bigger than my thumb nail (I have small hands). My Sirius wand is there to add some perspective.
@EowynRio Thank you. This is the first proper project I have done - I have onlt stitched miniatures before, so this is really taking a lot of commitment. I love your tiny book. Did you do it as a full casebound book with awl holes and stitching? It is gorgeous! What made you choose to create it?
And wow @Li11ee Thank you for all that you do for the community!
@Li11ee , awesome! Thank you, even from the distance. You rock!
@magicjack68 , keep on stitching, it's truly great! Thank you. Yes, the tiny books are full casebound books. I have to stitch every section with a very thin needle, then glue the cover, and all that - just like I would have done with a real book. It's hard to write on them though... 😆
I did it as a prop for an RPG game scenario. The books are supposed to be magical and all. So I made three of them so far but they haven't been used yet (I have friends who play RPG but I don't). I'm self-isolating with my elderly mom. Now I'm doing them for fun and as a distraction...
@EowynRio Those books are lovely. I did a bookbinding course a frw years back and loved it, but it is hard to get the supplies in my country. Import costs are astronomical. I do have waxed thread and an awl, so I sometimes make softcover notebooks, but not fully casebound books. I am very envious of your skill!
@Magpie31 , thank you, you're so very kind. They are quite rough around the edges and because they are so tiny, I basically use scraps of stuff: an old creamy fine thread, unused and yellowed very thin paper, parts of thick paper from some wrapping box, ordinary glue... it's just for fun, so no expenses at all. I would have loved to do a book binding course! I love notebooks - I'm a writer/screenwriter so I'm sort of addicted to books! 😉
Thanks but I should add some context. I am getting my paramedic degree. The fire academy let us come in and play dress up. It was eye opening. It was awesomw that I got to pretend to be a firefighter.
Everyone is so incredibly talented on here!
@ClairabusGryff it is lovely to see colorful flower. It's still snowing some days in Colorado so I haven't been able to see any yet.
@Magpie31 I just started my latest embroidery. I am excited to see someone else love doing that too! I've still got a long way to go. Of course mine is way easier than yours because I have a counted stitch pattern don't have to figure out a design and execute it without any reference. Cheers to you!
@Owlx I love this! Very impressed with your knitting skills. You know, I have some yarn and needles somewhere! I should learn how to knit. Us in San Francisco are going to have a little extra time on our hands for the next few weeks 🤔
@ClairabusGryff Wow, those are stunning 🌺I love that hibiscus, such a vibrant color!
I wish I could send everyone on here some of my flowers but can take pics and post them to make u smile. When I wake up in the morning I go out to look at what nature sent me overnight since hibiscus flowers only last around 24 hours.

So beautiful @Magpie31 !!! The patience it must take to do that and just the crazy amount of time involved. 👌👌🙏🙏
@Owlx , thank you for that. I really needed it. Beautiful picture!
@Magpie31 Lovely work. I so wish I knew how to embroider like this.
@ClairabusGryff Gorgeous flowers! :-)
All of you made me smile and I so needed to smile right now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

@Owlx oh I'd love to work for Olivander! This wand was bought at the Harry Potter studio tour near London - oh I'd LOVE to be able to make wands!!!
Let me just say "x=1", and assume a unit circle.

@Magpie31 That is super impressive, as I know embroidery takes a lot of time and patience! Well done with the lettering!
@Li11ee You are awesome!! Thanks for sharing this photo.
