Stitchy Snippets - Cosmic Cross Stitch

Photographer Navid Baraty has embroidered a stunning collection of planets which include: Earth, Jupiter, Neptune and Mars. Baraty's love for astronomy led him to create this embroidery project. Using actual planetary images, for his source of inspiration, Baraty designed each cross stitch pattern. I would love to get the entire set! Navid Baraty has an Etsy shop for his patterns here. Or perhaps you feel inspired to create your own? I didn't find Venus on the list.

Friday Instagram Finds No. 44 with Sea of Stars

Hello Stitchy Friends! March 20, 2016 marks one year since I started publishing Friday Instagram Finds! We're not at number 52 yet because when I first started publishing the feature, I was doing it bi-weekly. I hope you've enjoyed meeting the needle artists I've featured over the past year as much as I have.

Let's take a look at @sea_ofstars today! Emily used #feelingstitchyig on Instagram, which is how I first encountered her work. She creates clever constellation and Universe embroideries, and the cutest pet and animal embroideries. Take a look!

Have you seen this sweetness from Emily (aka flossbox in Flickr) yet? Better yet, you can attempt this adorable-ness yourself by buying a downloadable PDF pattern from her Etsy store. Very sweet and educational, to boot! :)

And thanks to Craftzine, for featuring Jessie's interview of doe-c-doe yesterday!
