Mr X Stitch presents NSFW Saturday

Hi everybody! Ready for some stimulating stitching? Great! Just scroll past the puppies and we’ll begin!

*Warning – there are real, not stitched images of naughty bits in this one!*

WARNING!
NSFW SATURDAYS WILL CONTAIN CONTENT THAT IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK!
IF YOU READ THESE POSTS, AND ARE OFFENDED, WE’RE SORRY BUT WE DID WARN YOU!

This week’s artist is the one who gave us the idea of NSFW Saturday in the first place. It all started with this lesbian porn embroidery post. Here’s a couple new saucy stitches from the lovely and talented Ruby42!

She seems happy, doesn’t she? :) This embroidery is an example of self-gratification stitching at its finest.

If Mr X were writing this, I believe he would say “Crikey!” right about now. :)

This was made for the anatomy swap that took place at the Phat Quarter recently. Ruby embellished an image from pornography with buttons, decorative embroidery, and a stitched statement. The combination of the explicit image and the intimate message makes this piece especially poignant. Ruby has been doing so many new things lately – I can’t wait to see more!

If you’d like to see more of her work, you can check out her flickr photostream or her etsy store.

I LOVE that saying! I could have easily said that to my ex-boyfriend since he was always asleep afterwards!

Weird – I was totally taken aback by the second work but think the first one is really beautiful… seems I have an embroidery-fetish-created bias towards embroidered porn over real porn.

Hi, fellow Bridget. :)

I prefer my porn stitched as well, I can be a bit of a prude when it comes to actual nudity versus nudity represented in art. I really love what Ruby has done here, though.

I love this so freakin’ much. Ruby has done some really incredible work, especially since this was what, her 1st or 2nd time embroidering? Jeez…I love that woman!

I prefer the second piece – I can’t half identify with the words! (if my current boyfriend is reading this – not you honey! the others :) )
And the contrast of such a shocking (but almost abstract at that angle) image and the softness of stitching is perfect. Love it.
