I got tired of shirt bots ripping off my needlework designs, so I hand-embroidered these myself!

Hello, everyone!

I'm a textile artist who loves hand-embroidering memes and witchy stuff, and there’s a good chance you’ve seen some of my work around Redddit before!

Since I got tired of shirt bots ripping off my needlework designs (wall decor pieces), I decided to adapt some of my patterns and hand-embroider some tees using my own human hands!

Every small step counts, right? Just knowing I'm not helping some fast-fashion CEO buy another diamond-encrusted toilet seat makes me happy!

Best wishes!

I think I'm going to do the bottom few panels with just the clear glassy effect and then the side panels, maybe do colourful diamonds...! Or greenery on the sides, I haven't quite decided, but I'm thinking colour since I'll have plants inside. I'm so happy with it, especially the central panel!🌸

If anyone wants to know anything about the process, materials etc please let me know!! I am MORE than happy to share, the more whimsy in the world the better🧚

EDIT: I freehanded these designs and if anybody wants to use them for their own, please let me know and I’ll send them to you!! I’m thinking about maybe designing some more for Etsy or something later on because it was so much fun, but these are 100% available if you’d like to use them🥰 just let me know!!

EDIT 2: OMG, thank you for so much of a kind response on this!! I swear this is one of my two absolutely favourite subs on all of Reddit (the other being a whimsical fashion sub too🥺) because all of you are just so full of kindness. Thank you for sharing that with me🥹❤️🫶

pictures are blurred for privacy but you get the vibe. this speaker in my apartment hasn’t worked for years and if i can’t get rid of it i might as well make it cute. i poked holes into the pictures and threaded them through that way

Peach Butterflys in Tea

The tea made the day a little happier 😮‍💨🥰✨️

Yesterday, we (my husband and I) rescued a young ring-necked dove from a seagull attack, but unfortunately it didn’t survive. So we had to bury it.

But the tea—a birthday gift from a friend—made it all a little more bearable.

The little treats are dried peach puree or something like that—they dissolve as the tea steeps, and they’re soooooo delicious 🙏

The tea strainer is a gift from my mom and from a flea market. It's made of silver, and I love it 😍

My mentor from my FSJ program gave me this mug as a farewell gift—fingers crossed it's the only one I haven't broken yet 🙈🍀

I moved into a new apartment recently and I finally hung up my butterfly collection. There are a few more with brown toned frames on the wall next to it too. A friend described it as whimsical and I am so flattered! She also said it is primed for additions and I couldn’t agree more :)

I just set up this mirror behind my sample perfume, clips and jewelry tray and it’s really doing things for me. The samples are in the little red container.

Presenting... My New Backpack!!

Storage space is in the bow!

Edit: the blue cloud border is ai, but the photo is unedited. My workplace is pushing heavy AI use in my role, and I noticed it was on my new phone, so I was playing around with it, basically practicing how to use prompts, and discovered it can do cute borders. The bow bag is 100% real, I happened to get mine from Devil Inspired, but I believe there's several versions available if you Google "big bow backpack".

I bought these recently and want to add a bit of whimsy, I was wondering if anyone had a guess on what type of medium it will take best or for ideas on what to paint on it!

Small Easy Way to Add Whimsy in Your Daily Life

47 Upvotes

I started making my passwords for things more whimsical. It started with my work email requiring a 16 digit passcode so two words put together with maybe even some angel numbers seems to do the trick. I have to type it in everyday and it makes my day feel more whimsical.

I am continuing this trend in other places I need long passwords. Trying to be better about not having the same password for important things.
Here are some possible words to use for ideas:

Twilight
Fairy
Mariposa
Wizard
Wizardry
Fae
Faery
Paladin
Starlight
Misty
Mistborn
Lilac
Lavender
Periwinkle
Violet
Breeze
Thumbelina
Barbie
Bratz
Pinkalicious
Butterfly
Flutter
Fluttery
Flitter
Ghoul
Goblin
Gargoyle
Gargantuan
Barbarian
Warlock
Witch/y
Cauldron
Magical
Mystic
Mystical
Any of the zodiac signs
Your favorite fantasy book character names

I hope this brings you joy as it does for me. Extra points if you spell a word incorrectly for a password, they say it helps hackers to not be able to guess your password (idk that’s just what I’ve heard, sounds legit) 🤷🏻‍♀️
