'The heather and the hills' - close-ups of my newest aerial embroidery, combining knitting for the base again! Summer heathers, sheep and ponies dot this wild landscape... it won't be available until I made a little frame for it but I have more photos to put up in a couple days :)

Thank you so much for all the love for this spring landscape! It means a lot to me :) I'm proud of how my aerial embroideries have evolved and developed of the years, I think this piece is a good representation of it 🌸🌱🌷

For stress-related and creative reasons, my aerial embroidery commissions are now closed until October. I have the full explanation on my Instagram, linked below. Photographed is a past commission of Dunvegan in Alberta, Canada, one of my proudest ever landscapes! 😊 www.instagram.com/p/DXHxJARDIqQ/

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

My apple orchard in bloom... and rusty old train tracks above it! This is my first time doing tracks on an aerial embroidery and I'm pretty happy with the effect; the flowering trees were a chore but I'm happy with them too! The last element to add is the allotment to the left 🥕🥬🌱 #landscape

My current aerial embroidery landscape in progress... a spring apple orchard closely inspired by one close to where I grew up in Devon! The area to the left will be an allotment 🥕🍅🥬 I'm so glad spring is finally here!! I went to the local pond this morning and watched the tadpoles swimming around :)

I've made a new category in my shop for my art prints and postcard/sticker sets, linked below! They're all slowly going down - the giclee prints are the lowest in stock. I'm thinking of doing a new spring-based one too, would you be interested? 🌷 victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

Goodbye little Cosmo, our sweet forever baby with his big curly whiskers 💔 only 5 years old but he became very unwell from a blood clot and heart condition this year. See my Insta post for more writing and photos of the little boy, now always sleeping 🐾 www.instagram.com/p/DVwBn1GDMN...

'Rose Hill garden' - I was in the mood to embroider another geometric garden and went with summer roses for this one. Colourful and bright! The hoop is stuffed with shaped felt to create a gentle slope to the tree ring in the centre :) available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/rose-ga... #art

Combining knitting with my aerial embroidery... I knitted a base, which was then attached and sewn over to create a wild meadow 🌱🌼 the first of hopefully a series of landscape experiments using this method! I wanted to create more variety than my usual cotton bases. Zoom in to see the flowers :)

'Island Lake, California' - an aerial embroidery commission from last September I haven't shared yet! The right hand side was a nightmare at times, very busy with textures and elements and odd shapes. I hope it came out effective though? I don't have much experience in rocky landscapes :)

I re-opened and added to this spring aerial embroidery from last week... I felt it lacked details and therefore 'life'. I'm much happier with it now! Zoom in to the landscape to see the tiny sheep, tractors working and buildings :) now here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #fibrearts

In your opinions, what are the best photo-based social media alternatives to Instagram for creators, artists and/or small businesses? I feel like my Insta account is near dead so I need to be looking at other sites too outside of Meta (I'll still be on here!)

Futuristic desert cityscape or an abstract exploding clock? Or something else?? It was meant to be an experiment of the former using old clock, watch and hard drive bits I have but my parents say it looks like the latter 😅 it was curious to try a new media for aerial landscapes though! #art

A snowy aerial embroidery I made two years ago... I was looking back through my landscape archive and found it again 😊 I wonder where that car that drove off the bottom left is going?? Hopefully they got back ok 😅 #art

'It feels gentle here' - winding fields around river bends, orderly trees and bushy river reeds! This aerial embroidery was a great way to start 2026 - lots and lots of green! It feels good to be back to doing knots too :) available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #landscape

My 'winter abstractions' embroidery series has just gone live! Snow and ice over water in various shades of blue and teal. There was a focus on shape for these aerial landscapes, both in the water and ice... it was great to explore! Now all here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #art

My latest aerial embroidery - thawing snow/ice over blue and teal waters 💙 it came out somewhat abstract I think? Or at least more so than my more usual aerials :) I'm hoping for some snow this winter!! This landscape will be available after the new years (to avoid the backlogged post) #art

There are 6 days left to enter the raffle for this large aerial embroidery, 'Autumn in technicolour'. All proceeds are going towards my surgery recovery this new year :) Full details and entries available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/raffle-... and all shares very appreciated 🍂

My current work in progress... it'll be snowy winter landscapes for the next month or so :) I hurt my wrist and can't do tough stitches like knots but the cotton ones seem fine. For this aerial embroidery, I liked the idea of having detailed water and simple land! What do you think of this style?

This past commission of mine feels very 'wintery' to me so I wanted to share it here too - I think the brown shrubs and lighter green areas do it :) this specific aerial embroidery was of a landscape in Ireland! I enjoy how fields are organised there compared to ours!

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

'All that glitters...' - a fun little play with incorporating beads into my aerial embroideries! I think they work well for some little trees and hedges :) plus I had to add some tiny cows too! Now available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #art #landscape

I've now opened a raffle for this embroidery landscape - direct link below! The listing has full details for the reason and how to enter, the process, etc. This is a vital moment for me so any post engagement/shares will be extremely helpful! victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #art

My postcard and sticker sets are now also available for shipping to the USA! Each postcard set has nine prints from my recent aerial embroidery landscapes, while each sticker set has seven: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

I found I still had a couple of the process pic videos for some of my aerial embroideries! Here's one of them - 'The land is a patchwork rainbow', 2023, which was inspired by Dutch tulip fields. This embroidery landscape was so fun to create! 🌈🌷🌸 #art

I'm super stressed right now so here's a recent favourite landscape from a few months ago again - Dunvegan in Alberta, Canada. This aerial embroidery took forever but was worth it 💚 the higher up perspective is more intricate and slower to sew I've found, more fiddly! #art

'Senescence' - my new aerial embroidery of a warm Autumn landscape. Moorland ponies dot the grass while a stream cuts through the scene. Now available along with a miniature of the same theme: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

My Autumn aerial embroideries I made last Autumn... I've made a start on this year's landscapes now! Lots and lots of colourful and brown trees coming soon 🧡💛🍂 including another geometric one maybe? #embroidery #art

I've been picking out past designs for a dozen postcard designs and here are a few of the chosen ones! I'm picking out quite a range of my aerial embroidery landscapes from the past few years, its been great to go back and see them all :) which of the 4 below are you most drawn to?

'Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium' - another recent embroidery commission that now has its new home... doing the buildings was a challenge for me, I'm not so experienced on those. I think I got good detail in without it getting overcrowded :) overall, this aerial landscape was a good challenge!

A past embroidery commission I forgot to share on here... an aerial view of an equestrian farm somewhere in America! This was such a lovely landscape is embroider: the horse fields and red farm houses are so pleasing :) such a soothing green landscape 💚

Happy Autumn! For the season, here's a past Autumn landscape of mine called 'Autumnal Auras'. Colourful trees and mist lying low on the moorland edge 🍂 I would have done it a bit differently now (should I do another??) but it's still an aerial embroidery I'm very proud of!

'All paths lead to water' - my newest aerial embroidery, inspired by the grounds of Antony House, Cornwall! I loved the radiating paths through the trees leading to the water edge so here's my take on the landscape... with kayakers! Now available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

Which ocean-themed aerial embroidery stands out to you most? 🌊 The largest one has captured my heart the most - it had an awkward middle phase but now its finished I love it 💙 All three are available on my website here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

'Brooks and boulders' - the third piece of my aerial embroidery series incorporating pine bark chip 'rocks'! The contrasts between the hard rocks and soft embroidery, dark and pale shades and terrain makes this landscape my favourite 😊 will be available Friday with all the others! 1/2

I have the fifth piece now up! I tried to get it done for yesterday afternoon's update but I was a day too slow 😅 this tropical island inspired landscape is now here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/rock-se...

These four aerial embroideries are now available on my site! Soft flowing oceans, rocks made of pine bark chips, and lots and lots of French knots... I can never get enough of those stitches 😊 all landscapes now up here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #embroidery

'Moorland pools' - the fourth landscape in tomorrows mini art update! This one is essentially a smaller version of the last moorland piece I showed where I just wanted to play with shape and texture some more :) I'll post tomorrow afternoon when all 4 are up, around 4pm GMT on my site! #embroidery

'Brooks and boulders' - the third piece of my aerial embroidery series incorporating pine bark chip 'rocks'! The contrasts between the hard rocks and soft embroidery, dark and pale shades and terrain makes this landscape my favourite 😊 will be available Friday with all the others! 1/2

These are the first two pieces of my rock series - I wanted to combine some pine bark chips I painted to resemble rocks with my aerial embroidery, both for seascapes and moorland landscapes. These are the two mini sea ones - do you prefer the left or right? 💙🌊 #embroidered #ocean

A failed experiment intended to be desert mountains but because I used soft foam, its warping as I add more thread. I'm now starting a new piece using more foam but sewing French knots on the surface since those don't 'buckle' like split/satin stitch. So now it'll be more like a moorland tor!

'Across the Outback' - its so hot today in the UK I thought I'd share this hot Australian aerial I sewed a couple years ago. I just love the rich red earth and blue-green eucalyptus trees... plus the little truck travelling through the landscape :) #embroidery #fibrearts

'Dunvegan', Alberta, Canada - I can finally share this embroidery landscape commission, quite the most intricate piece I've ever created, and I'm so so proud! To me, it really represents how far I've come since I started in 2019. The hoop is 14-inches across to help visualise it 1/2 #embroidered

A new little series for the summer! These will be mixed-media embroidery landscapes, I collected a small handful of pine bark when I was on holiday recently as I loved the curious shapes! I painted them grey and now they're perfect little rocks for some seascapes 😊 #sewing #artproject

An embroidered rainbow tulip aerial from 2023 since it is Pride Month!! Happy Pride and I hope you all take care 💚 I am queer and consider myself non-binary or similar but things like parties and parades scare me, too overwhelming... I hope I can attend one some day though 🏳️‍🌈🎉😊 #landscape
