A work in progress photo of a hand embroidered piece. The background fabric is chartreuse with green circles printed on it. The stitching so far is a “ground” done in shades of tan, brown, and orange. A blue blade of grass that looks like a swan is in the center of the canvas. That is it so far.

Did some more stitching on this piece, finally. Sometimes the background stuff drags on forever on my pieces.

A hand embroidered postcard made using a plastic found along the road. It depicts a heart with a smiley face surrounded by a decorative border made of a Lego and chopped up Nerf projectiles. Underneath the heart it reads “Love Your Neighbor.”

I hand embroidered another postcard from trash found on the street (nerf projectiles, a Lego, a plastic heart, nozzles from air canisters) and some beads left over from old projects. Not really a meant to be a valentine. #artsky

A detail of a large hand embroidered work that includes 3 “creatures” made from collaging small bits of trash together. The background is green and yellow, there is a grey beaded building in the background and a fuzzy tree of gold to the left of the photo. The creatures are a winged horse, a bug eyed rabbit, and a gnome-like creature holding a gardening tool.

I put my little trash collaged guy on a background! This piece of embroidery is like 27 inches by 18 inches and it is now almost done. #artsky

Some small pieces of metal and plastic found along the road have been laid out to resemble a strange looking figure wearing a hat.

Small pieces of metal and plastic found along the road have been embroidered together onto a brown background to create a figure wearing a green hat. He will be cut out and placed on a different background.

Found some trash along the road. Made a caretaker for an estate. No glue used. All hand embroidered. I did add some beads, a brooch and a bit of broken chain. #foundobjects #artsky

Good morning back.

Very cute!

A couple of them are, yes.

Not any more or less than I would if I carried around a couple of tissues, I guess. I mean, I wash them once they have been used, so they don’t get that bad.

I still use a cloth hankie. Admittedly, they were my dad’s, but they are so much nicer than paper tissues.

Detail of a Hand embroidered dimensional art piece. The detail is a close up of a purple tree with orange beaded flowers. The background is green and blue.

My current work in progress- something I started before my mom died, and am just getting back to.

A hand embroidered postcard with a white background, a snowman outlined in black thread, and the words “Maine loves snow but hates ice” stitched in red. The snowman is wearing a red hat with a tassel.

A new postcard. #craftivism

I love it

A 14 inch embroidery hoop with a chartreuse and green printed background. Artist has begun stitching brown/orange/cream silk background landscape.

My current #workinprogress #embroidery

It’s a 14 inch hoop. Ignore the tissue paper.

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words. (I had to find Ax-Man’s on the internet. I didn’t know what it was. I have to get all my trash out of the ditches here in Maine. Lol )

Aww, thank you so much.

Thank you!

A bunch of found objects randomly placed on top of some green felt.

A weird green creature made using found objects from previous photo on a piece of green felt.

Took a pile of trash, embroidered a thing. I never use any type of glue on my projects, so this guy was a bit tricky to stitch together. What do you all think? #artsky

This is going to be epic! I love Baby.

I often just give them away. They take months to make, sometimes years. I don’t currently have an appropriate venue to sell them.
I like the eyes, too! Thank you.

Thank you

Garlanded lanterns with critters in them?

Thank you! It was fun to design.

A hand embroidered yellow and orange tree on a green background. This art uses lots of pieces of road trash, so there is a rabbit-like creature next to the tree made from found jewelry, old buttons and an electrical cord.

Started work on an old project this week. #artsky

Thank you!

A hand embroidered postcard of a stylized seahorse swimming. The seahorse is shades of pink and silver and black. It has a big white crocheted back fin (I found that part on the ground on Christmas.)

Felt like making another silly hand embroidered postcard. Happy 2026. #artsky

Thank you!

Love this!

An alien boy is going to rescue his space scooter which he has crashed into a rose bush. This is a hand embroidered piece of art with found objects and vintage jewelry. The background is a woman’s handkerchief. The alien is stitched in shades of green with orange hair. He is holding a small tool. The crashed space scooter is silver bits of metal and plastic. There is a green butterfly and a blue and gold bird among the roses. The roses are shades of pink with turquoise colored leaves and brown stems.

I hear you.
