Embroidered Tall House on a Silver Moon

As I've been working through feelings of what "home" really means in my personal life, I knew I wanted to make some embroidered home pieces to share with the world - somehow that morphed into a house on the moon...obviously!

-

I stitched the center of the wooden house (handmade by a talented couple down in Florida) in my favorite French Knots.

The moon is hand sculpted, complete with craters and bumps and texture!  The moon on this piece does stick out past the depth of its frame and I love that detail.

Then I chose a  special, teak bowl with the most interesting wavy edge detail, to frame it all together.  This is the first vintage piece in this shape and style that I've come across so far and that always adds a little something extra.

The yummy, deep moody purple, shimmery background adds the best space-y depth to the piece.  Plus, STARS!

*Teak outer frame is a used, vintage piece, which means it may have signs of wear and tear that only add to the story of the overall piece.  

** It's best to hang your fiber art piece in a place that doesn't get direct sun and I don't recommend touching the fibers.
