Slow stitched "the night sky is still up there".

[u/hopping_otter_ears]

I had a lot of fun making this one. I asked my son to pick out a thread color as close to my sky as possible so the moon and stars almost (but not quite) vanish behind the daylight.

It didn't come out as subtle as I wanted it to be, but I like the effect

❤️ your ‘blue print’!

Highly technical engineering drawing

Sorry, I forgot the proper terminology. 🙂 i am inspired to get going on another slow stitch project. Thanks!

I like blueprint well enough. I guess "sketch' might be the most accurate word, but I like pretending it's a highly technical engineering drawing vs a sketch in Crayola markers.

Good luck with your next project. I enjoy this style because I can use the cloth color to fill areas I can't be bothered to satin stitch all over

I love that—when it’s a new moon and it rises and sets with/near the sun. Lovely work!

Thank you

I like this style

Thank you. I enjoy it because it lets the cloth do the heavy lifting on the color fill. I can happily do the detailing work and not end up hating life trying to satin stitch fill an entire background

This makes me feel things 🥺 it's so beautiful!!

I'm glad you like it. I was trying to capture some of the incredulous awe of trying to explain the idea to a little kid who's still in the "if I can't see it, it's not there" phase

I love that so much! I can recall many examples of times I would've needed a clever visual like that to understand something that's too abstract to explain.
