Embroidery: Cat in a Teacup



One of the designs included with my machine is a cat sitting in a teacup. Kind of odd but pretty cute too. I didn't have the colors listed for the design, so I trued my best to make a realistic looking cat. Using purple scrap fabric, I got the hoop ready, and started off with white for the cup part of the design as well as some features of the cat. I then chose a navy for the details and outline, pink for the shading and flower, grey for the cat's body, orange for it's face, and green for the cat's eyes and the leaves. 

It took 42 minutes for the machine to create this design, but it turned out really great. Definitely shorter than if I had to do it by hand! I am really enjoying making my way through the designs included in the machine. Some are very random, like this cat in a teacup, while others are pretty standard like different floral designs.

 Final product!

Mood Board for Writing Characters

The Dire Circle - " The circle is dire, much like the outcomes of these stories. In this black zodiac themed anthology, you may come to dislike other people...maybe even yourself."   When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked. But, once it did and I was given a Black Zodiac to then develop my short story, I decided to do what I do for costuming a character - I made a mood board for my main character.  My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the...

Fire Gloves - Witch's Special Effects in "The Kingdom of Dreams: A Tale of Oz"

Currently a work in progress , this is one image of the fire gloves for the Witch in "The Kingdom of Dreams: A Tale of Oz." Using conductive thread I was able to hand sew a controller, 9 LEDs, and a mini on/off button to each glove. The actress will be able to use the on/off switches on the thumbs on the gloves to control the lights. My husband, who is a software engineer, is programming the LEDs to create a fire effect in red. There will be a thin glove worn over these so that the LEDs and controller will be hidden. The LEDs are very bright and will be able to be seen through the second layer. Once the programming is in place I will share a video of the gloves in action. Stay tuned for more special effects!
