I was inspired by the erotic embroidery artists I have been keeping up with. I also thought this could be a fun way for intimacy and self love during social distancing. You are going to need an embroidery hoop, fabric, watercolors, a pen or pencil, embroidery floss, and a needle. I used more expensive water colors I already had but kid’s watercolors will work just as well! I used a wet on wet technique for the background. So just get your fabric wet and play with the color. It can be whatever you like. Add more water to bleed and blend the colors but be careful you don’t make it muddy. After that’s dry or close to being dry, sketch out whatever you are going to embroider. I did my butt. If you can’t draw take a photo of whatever you plan on embroidering and just trace it on your fabric for an easy pattern. Once you have completed that it’s time to figure out what kind of floss you want to use and what colors. I chose a yellow satin embroidery floss. I used two strands for more texture. You also can look up different stitches to use. I believe I did back stitching. I can never remember the names of all of them. Depending on the stitch you choose and the size of your project it shouldn’t take that long at all. You can tie a small but strong knot in your floss once you’ve finished and trim up any long excess pieces on the back. Besides literally finishing the back of an embroidery piece, that’s it. It’s that easy and there are endless options. If you make something like this send me pics! If you want ME to make YOU one let me know. 🤍
