An Introduction

So I wanted to start a craft blog. For my crafts. And other people’s crafts, when I really like them. I can’t choose any one particular type to dedicate it to, because I hardly know what I’ll be doing in a week, never mind in a year. I’ve played with drawing and digital art (I’m not very good at these, but I had a webcomic for a while and that was a LOT of fun), painting, clay, cooking and baking, and various fiber arts.

For the last year my main preoccupation has been embroidery. It’s been awesome. I’ve been featured on the Mr X Stitch blog (link) a few times now, and I’ve developed a style that I’m pretty comfortable with. I mostly make jewelry and other small pieces because it allows me to add plenty of richness and detail—I mainly use satin stitch—without spending hours and hours and hours on any one piece. 

If you want to see my embroidery progress from the very first projects I did, my Flickr account has a pretty good record of that.

Expect tutorials for the things I know how to do, learning-as-I-go for the things I don’t, and an awful lot of experimentation.

Um. Hi. I'm Pixie. Welcome to my blog. J
