I’m almost finished with the background! It’s all single-strand, single-wrap French knots. It’s taken forever to stitch, but I love the effect. This is definitely the most challenging project I’ve ever taken on, but easily my favorite.

Design based on a photo by Mark Kostitch.

Inspired by Mark Kostitch's incredible photography, this is my hairy bush viper hand embroidery progression.

I’m working on long and short stitch for the leaves. It takes a lot of color blending to get the shading right, but the design is finally coming together. (Design based on Mark Kostitch’s photograph)

Three months of stitching later... here is my hairy bush viper WIP! It's officially the toughest project l've ever taken on. I'm using a single strand of thread for everything. Based on a stunning photo by Mark Kostitch. What do you think so far?

Three years ago, I picked up a needle and thread for the first time, and it completely changed my creative world! 🧵✨

Before finding hand embroidery, my first love was drawing. I spent years working almost exclusively with graphite pencils, focusing on the details of black-and-white portraits. Because of that, stepping into the world of fiber arts meant facing a brand-new challenge: color. 🌈

Trading in my shading pencils for colorful skeins of thread was intimidating at first. Blending with stitches is so different from blending with graphite! But pushing past that comfort zone and learning how to bring a piece to life with vibrant color has been the most rewarding journey.

I’d love to know—how did you get started with your favorite hobby? Did you switch from a totally different craft like I did? 👇
