DIY Embroidery Wood Brooch Kit

I am so thrilled to share my latest kit to the collection. It combines three of my favorite things: geometry, wood, and embroidery. Purchase here for $12.00

This is the perfect embroidery kit for someone starting to learn embroidery (kids and adults alike). It is designed to be open-ended so you can be as creative as you want. If you are looking for guidance the kit comes with a few patterns you can follow (see pictured below). I find the brooches to be very satisfying and relaxing to complete.

Each Kit Contains:

• 1 wood brooch with laser cut holes (1.5" diameter)

• 3 colors of thread (teal, purple, light green)

• 1 needle

• Brooch pin for easy fastening

• Instructions and 3 patterns

Embroidery Installation Collaboration with Widen & Kennedy

I was recently commissioned to make a large scale embroidery installation for the front doors of Widen + Kennedy, a local advertising agency. I was giddy with delight at the thought of the project. I used the thickest yarn I could find and a huge needle to pull this off. These letters are seriously huge and bulky to deal with, but totally worth it in the end. If you live in the PDX area you can check it out in person at: 224 NW 13th Ave. Portland, OR 97209.

Cross Stitch on Paper

I blogged a little bit about this recently. This is how the finished project turned out. I cannot tell you how meditative and calming it is to make these. The quote is something a teacher told me during my travels. Kind of an "Ah ha" moment for me.
