Neurotic Owl

flapping vaguely downward through clouds of uncertainty on wings of existential dread

Work in progress (but nearly done)!

I’m still getting over a really bad cold and my energy for posting has been low, which is why it’s been a bit again. Luckily being laid up on the couch a lot lends itself to doing quite a bit of embroidery, even with all the sleeping, and this massive project is astonishingly near to being done.

Since my storage space over here is limited, please head over to the neurotic owl Facebook page for a full album of progress photos or I’ve been posting them all to mastodon as neuroticowl@mastodon.art

This started as another (actually the first) free association doodle, and most of it happened while Mom and I were stuck sitting in the Houston airport waiting for our delayed flight to take off for four hours.

I was on a real magic tree kick on that trip and I liked where this ended up enough that I did a larger version next:

Aaaaand by then I already knew I wanted to embroider it, although I had to wait to get home to have my supplies. This isn’t the final version, but it’s getting super close – time to add the beaded chains to the pomegranates and some more detail to the dragon.

Places to buy stuff!

Did I miss something?  I think that’s everything.

What’s making me happy this week:

Nearly ready to stretch and photograph a big embroidery, nearly over a cold, the Democratic campaign suddenly has a massive surge of energy and hope that’s reminding me very much of the first Obama run – everything’s coming up Milhouse.
