Thanks to all of those in the community that have already joined in to make this project happen. I’m going to hand-embroider one-off pieces for each element in the periodic table. The treatment of each element will not be a one to one draw and stitch: each piece will be inspired by an element; it will not necessary depict the element, although it may.
If you’re interested or want to tell a friend here check out the project here!
The Mitosis phase continues.
Seed stitch is playful.
Moles.
Mitosis Phase One is near to my heart. In December I put the first stitches down, and realized I was looking at a bunch of cells. The void in all the cells started to make me wonder about what’s happening inside of each one. I decided to investigate and found a cell hot with division.
Back Stitch looking fluid front and back.
Notice the voids between the cells, the Back stitch, and the weave of the fabric.
The cell starting up Mitosis.
The colors soften as the process picks up momentum.
All of this creating has helped us get to a new point: we are going to be launching a Kickstarter project soon. It’s an embroidery wall art project focusing on science and art. Keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks for updates.
Thanks for stopping by!

2016, like all years, has been incredible. This embroidered piece is influenced by the many sunrises I caught this year; waking up in the dawn’s dark is one of my favorite activities.
After the embroidery was finished, I machine quilted the double wool batting with gold Gutermann thread.

Thanks for stopping by at any point during this year and after!
