Remember a few months ago when I made an anatomical heart patch? Recently I picked up a vintage metal embroidery hoop, and when I was trying to decided what to make for it the first thing I thought of was this patch.
The embroidery is done on white linen that I splattered with red paint.
This is the first metal embroidery hoop I’ve used, and now I’m on a hunt to find more. I like that it gives the embroidery a little bit more of an industrial feel. I like the spring, too!
