Try saying 'future feature fun ' 5 times without stumbling over your tongue', because I can't

This is a random feature because I missed the 12 days of Christmas project . Christmas is always a busy and hectic time for me and the fact that I live abroad does not help. Christmas time just zoomed by in a pleasant sunny matter instead of the cold I usually have to battle.  Now before the new year begins I wanted to start early with my resolutions because the early worm catches the bird or something like that. I did order this random feature in themes to give you some idea of where to look. There is already enough chaos in this world for everyone to deal with

This feature is the first of many. I've been on DA for a long time (7 years! ), and I am eager to finally get more involved in the community aspect. In those years I've learned that DA is a friendly community who is always eager to welcome an enthusiastic artist, so here I am giving some energy and love back .

After this feature, I aim to do semi-periodical themed features. The next theme will be announced at the end of each feature. What I always like about themed features is that it allows other people to contribute suggestions in the commentary section. These features will continue until I've found a more original way to give back to the community. Features are always fun anyway, especially because they always show me artwork I would never have found on my own . So give this feature a look before you scroll down to the bottom to thank me and suggest some works for me to feature next. Also, don't feel obliged to thank me. You creating and appreciating great art is thanks enough for me, I am just throwing great art in people's faves now .

Embroidery and cross stitch





Quilts





Drawings and paintings


Miscellaneous crafts


Photography


Literature

Wrinkled SkinEach curl and scratch I make upon the page transforms it into something else Just like the lines in your face takes you and transforms yourself.Like the marks on the paper the lines in your skin tell the journey of your life that no one can twin.But the paper is not the focal of a tale nor should be your wrinkles But they are there and important like an eye and a twinkle


I am the rose that still standsEven before the heavier storm that is falling .Even before the big black night seems never ending.Even before all this incessant crying crying and teeth griding .Even before of all the pain emotional that dominated me .I am a rose. A beautiful rose. A beautiful and fragrant red rose .Even before all and against everything, the rose on me remains standing.I am a rose. Yes, a rose. And i  stand to heal and fight.They defoliated my petals. I expanded my spines, then. Threatened to cut my bases. I grew up to sky , then.I'm a rose. A beautiful rose all dyed in red .I'm a rose and i stand to fight against evil and heal the hearts.I am the rose. ...


So, the theme for next week is: FLOWERS! For all the people in the Northern hemisphere, this will be a welcome break from the cold. And flowers are always nice  

And now just a random song for some free cheer and end this feature

Well let's say, the picture was taken by a friend of mine but editing is done by me which is a 50/50 of taking creds.
Still glad that you like it. ^^

Glad you like the Christmas Cameo Green Soldier, got him to do in a few other colours......when I get round to it 😀

BellaGBear In reply to tinydtk [2018-12-26 19:05:38 +0000 UTC]

haha, you always have so much courage to do a project in ALL THE COLOURS . I was really impressed by the use of gold thread in this piece and I'm looking forward to the other colours

tinydtk In reply to BellaGBear [2018-12-26 19:42:47 +0000 UTC]

This was a random spool of gold thread I got somewhere  secondhand 🤔, totally love it as it doesn't split from the base thread like all the others do so you don't lose ANY of the gold. Think I need to look at the threads used in goldwork as they seem a totally different quality......a lot better than normal metallic threads. There's also the Father Christmas's to go with the Green Soldier & other colours 😂, why go for just the one when you love the other colours as well? Lol

BellaGBear In reply to tinydtk [2018-12-27 18:52:17 +0000 UTC]

oh yes that sounds good! I tried working with some gold and it was a total pain. Rarely shouted so much whilst making a cross stitch

Checking out the goldwork is a very good idea! Not a big fan of it myself, but we can always steal their materials and use it for ourselves...

tinydtk In reply to BellaGBear [2018-12-28 17:51:04 +0000 UTC]

This is why I hardly ever use metallic thread as it just totally pisses me off 😕. The threads used for goldwork are in a league of their own and seem a lot better . I'd rather do all the goldwork designs in silver 😂...........now that's a thought 🤔

BellaGBear In reply to tinydtk [2018-12-29 07:34:39 +0000 UTC]

oh yes I like the silver idea, and maybe add some bronze tones?? That would totally work.

tinydtk In reply to BellaGBear [2018-12-30 15:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Have to see what threads & other bits that are used in goldwork can be got in silver and other colours, am kinda govourned by what's available 😕

BellaGBear In reply to tinydtk [2019-01-01 12:09:41 +0000 UTC]

that's true. I think I saw bronze elements for sure, but not sure about the silver

Think it's gonna be a case of have a look round and see what's about and maybe "tweak" it lol, may even go have a word with the embroiderers up at the Cathedral

They're the dears that do all the embroidery for the Cathedral and diocese so they'll definately know about goldwork lol
