How does one embrodier 3d?

The houses themselves aren’t embroidered. They’re felt! Although my next project I’d like to give true 3d aerial embroidery a go. I believe there’s a few techniques to building up the terrain like layering a lot of embroidery floss or potentially using foam or something else that’s adhered to the fabric and then embroidered over. Excited to give a few of those a try!

An arial view! What a great idea.

I’d want to put it under a glass dome to protect it from dust.

It was a gift! So currently looking into options for them to keep it safe from dust and hopefully let the piece have a really long life. A dome is great idea, thank you!!

Thank you!!! This was my first embroidery project so I’m really thrilled for such positive feedback (and pumped to start another project!)

What are you thinking of making next?

Probably another aerial embroidery piece! Debating the place. Currently thinking of doing Rome, but logistical planning of such a detailed city is going to take some time to flesh out.

I curled up on the couch and had Brooklyn 99 playing in the background for about three days straight. But can confirm, back, arms, and hands def hurt after I was done.

Are those little houses felt? They look like they're elevated out of the picture, amazing work!

They are! Felt and styrofoam. I hope to try my hand at needle felting and see if I can remake them one day!
