Back to the larger format four word grid poem idea. Finished this one and edged with beads. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint #fourwordgridpoem #poetry

Final set of five teeny poems. All edged and backed, their own small poem-objects now. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #beadwork #canvaswork #needlepoint #fourwordgridpoem #poetry

I'm a little in love with these. I'm looking forward to working on the full scale versions, but these tiny sample poems make me very happy. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint #fourwordgridpoem #poetry

My partner went to school with Jonk. We are sad. He was a beautiful mind.

Another awaiting a border.

birbfest days 13-17!! 🦉🦆🪽 #art #birbfest2026 #watercolor

These fragments of paper I’ve painted earlier start the day. It's my small ritual at first light each dawn where color leads and thoughts follow, to notice and begin again. Day 705 | 8 x 13 cm | January 22, 2026 https://www.frankdenos.com/dailycollage […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

This will get a border, so it's not quite finished. But it makes me smile, so I wanted to share it. #textileart #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint #fourwordgridpoem

Good Luck Wood Duck #embroidery #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint #fourwordgridpoem

Something I've been quietly stitching in the evenings: these zokin - cloths for cleaning, made from old tea towels. I recommend The Green Wrapper on youtube if you'd like to make zokin from your old cloths. #textiles #handembroidery #zokin

When I'm working on a new piece, I often create a 'side cloth' where I can do a few quick stitches to try out a colour, stitch or thread. It really helps me make decisions and not have so much unstitching. Do you sample as you work? #embroidery #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint #sampling

Some of my favourite makes from 2025 #beadwork #embroidery

Sampling for a new series maybe. A thought that's been brewing for a while. #embroidery #textiles #handembroidery #needlepoint #canvaswork #words

Some of my favourite stitches. #handembroidery #embroidery

Some roundish stitched objects

Felt like some green this morning. So playing around with arranging some of my small pieces of stitching and paper again. This makes my mind happy. #handembroidery #textileart

I finished this green shape, and it’s now edged with a thin border of crochet in white thread. #embroidery #textileart #crochet

Loving these stitch structures. #embroidery #handembroidery #textileart #canvaswork #needlepoint

The moon I embroidered for my brother a few years ago. It's based on a photo he took. It's appliquéd fabric in white, grey, metallic, that I then covered with stem stitch circles, and french knots. #mandembroidery #embroidery #textileart #moon

A few years ago I made this stitched paper piece inspired by butterfly wing scales. #embroidery #handembroidery #textileart #stitchedpaper

I finished the stitching on this a few days ago and forgot to post. Looking forward to finishing the edging. #embroidery #textilesart #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint

New shape! A small plummy purply shape I finished today as a kind of colour test. I wasn't sure if it would be okay with a white edge, but I think it works. Already stitching the next one :D #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint

roughly 28x28 cm / 11x11 inches

I love this!

Another green rectangle #handembroidery #textileart

Kicking off the keychain bats with a slight variation of my original Clown Bat #clownbat #keychain #handmadeplush

We are so back. We are SO back. 🐀🇫🇷👑 Working on the second panel of the Reign rat triptych. #linocut #workinprogress #art #printmaking #rats #crafts #traditionalart #fanart #artsky #printsky

New shapes. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #crochet #canvaswork #needlepoint

A new green shape, stitched and ready for edging. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint #shapes

I am excited to announce that I will be showing how I make these bird brooches at the Making Zen online retreat! There will be 30 artists presenting during the week, and it’s free to watch each presentation for 24 hours when it airs - October 27-31, 2025! Link in bio (this is an affiliate link)

The home stretch

Some small green shapes. I pulled these out this afternoon to help me make choices on the larger pieces I’m working on. #embroidery #textileart

My work 'Time well spent' is a finalist in the Trades Hall Art Prize 2025. I can't make it to the exhibition opening in Melbourne next week, but maybe someone out there can? Details here: www.weareunion.org.au/art_prize_op... #TextileArt #Embroidery #CreateAgainstTheMachine

I finally finished making this embroidery into a cushion! #embroidery#textileart #handembroidery #canvaswork #needlepoint

Happy Spring equinox!

Another creature that returned home this weekend. Having it back has spurred a whole jumble of new ideas that I'm still processing. Around transparency, balance, extending forms out into space ... #embroidery#textileart #handembroidery #dragonfly

Some more old friends that arrived back home this weekend. It's funny the things that sell and the things that don't. I love my white beetles, but it's the colourful ones that sell, and their pale cousins that sit on the store shelf. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #beetles #bugs

Arranging some stone and wood this morning. #textiles #textileart #beadwork #crochet #stones

Welcome home little gang. I'm really pleased to have you all back. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #stitchedbirds #felt

I’ve been working on some slightly zany brooches over the last few weeks. Soon, very soon, I’m excited to tell you all about a free online workshop where you can learn how I make them!

It's a super foggy winter morning this morning. So I fished into my box of treasures and pulled out these soft grey and blue-white pieces to arrange. #handembroidery

Some felt creatures. #handembroidery #textileart

I stitched a small shape last night. Here it is with a larger shape. It’s winter, so my stitching is at low ebb - it was nice to feel the need to make an object. #textileart
