This month’s Deviant Discovery is a colour explosion for your peepers! Check out this hand embroidered hiya hoop by Ashley-Sam. It reminds me a lot of the Zentangle doodles I’ve been seeing a lot of recently. It has inspired me to collect my odds and ends of threads left over from projects (which also appeases the hoarder inside me) and create my own act of mindfulness one stitch at a time! I think embroidery is a perfect way to unwind and I can’t wait to get stuck into a fun and bright piece like this one by Ashley. Has anyone else created any relaxation doodle stitches? I’d love to see them!
