Throwback: this embroidery assembly line. A handful of pieces are left from the final jewelry collection I designed & up for grabs in my shop

Pulled from my bug phase days. I make most things using stitches that are worked at the same angle inside small areas, producing a smooth finished surface---known as a satin stitch.
