Painting with Thread

I’ve been crafting every day, both for work and play. When I do play, I like doing things freehand to let the creativity flow. No patterns, no plans. The results of each creative piece is a hundred times more rewarding when you create something literally from scratch, with no guides! These embroidered pieces are part of the collection that I’m doing for our new home. πŸ˜‰
Though work gets busier and busier, crafts like embroidery help keep me focused, and I decide where to place the next stitch, how long it should be, and in what color. It’s such a lola craft, but so relaxing!
Huck embroidery is something that I learned in high school, and I’ve only made one piece since then. It’s super easy, and since I love making patterns, I realize that it’s one of my favorite types of stitching.

Painted this variegated rose and added it to a garden pattern πŸ₯€ Mixed magenta, apricot, brick, and buff #LABhandmadewatercolors & a no.2 round brush for this piece. Took my time with each petal, and it felt like a little meditative activity. 🀍

It's a happy Saturday morning in my favorite spot in our garden. This area catches the bright morning sun, making all the plants super happy. 😁 Heliconia psittacorum are planted on the ground next to bamboo & palm. Hanging out in this corner inspired me to make a new heliconia ceramic palette shape, and I love how these turned out!😍

So excited to share my new design collab with @casajuanmnl! The collection features the Mabolo fruit (velvet apple) and flowers from the Kamagong tree, watercolored and printed on porcelain plates. Looking at these makes me want to plan the menu for a little gathering! πŸ§‘πŸ’š

A set includes four dinner plates, salad plates, and soup bowls, and they’re available at casajuan.ph 😁
