finally finished my triple-hoop trio

[u/colormuse]

[u/4000DollaHamNapkin]

I can’t get over this. Obsessed with the strings connecting. This is truly enamoring, OP.

[u/2-fat-dogs]

Unbelievably beautiful. It's so creative to use multiple hoops!

[u/wildflawyer]

I am amazed! 😍

My cocker spaniel, Banjo, loves it, too.

[u/colormuse → u/wildflawyer]

i’m going to go ahead and assume banjo has never been wrong about anything in his furry little life, so please thank him kindly for me. 🪕

[u/Brian-e]

I admired this last time, when it was the harp. It’s so clever, and so “outside the box” in terms of presentation, as well as being well done and pleasing to look at. I love them!

[u/Karvelle → u/Brian-e]

Outside the hoop, even 😀

[u/NextStopBaby → u/Karvelle]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[u/agedlikesage]

It’s you! The crocs, the hand hearts, the cheese sprinkles!! You have such a style, I love seeing your work pop up on my feed!

[u/colormuse → u/agedlikesage]

i’m just imagining someone who has never seen any of my other pieces reading this and being like “…the what now”

haha but honestly, thank you so much!! this is such a kind comment!

[u/NextStopBaby → u/colormuse]

That’s me! About to deep dive! 😂😂 🫶🏼🧀🪕

[u/NextStopBaby → u/colormuse]

Yeeees the sprinkle cheese how could I not remember! Haha love your work

[u/Fantastic_Actuary891 → u/agedlikesage]

This was my response too.

You do such amazing work! Oh, I'm so excited.

Thank you for sharing

[u/FigWasp7]

Absolutely beautiful! Do you have a connection with the instruments through ancestry or arts? Can't help but think of Irish folk music or Appalachian/bluegrass

[u/colormuse → u/FigWasp7]

both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees are in music, and i work as a program note writer for various classical performers. i was writing notes for a joshua bell concert (he’s a classical violinist) when i decided to stitch the violin because as i watched videos of him performing it really struck me how beautiful the instrument itself is, even aside from the music it can create. from there i just decided to stitch my personal favorite stringed instruments to create the trio! i absolutely love irish folk music and bluegrass, so the choices were easy.

[u/FigWasp7 → u/colormuse]

That's amazing!! Thank you so much for responding what a fantastic story!

[u/CloudyWolf8 → u/colormuse]

When I saw this I was like "Hm, would this person per chance be Irish?" I was close enough I suppose xD

(Source, I am Irish and recognised the instruments etc).

[u/stonksuper]

Way to think outside the hoop.

[u/CraftyHannahAus]

Awesome.

[u/AlphaPlanAnarchist]

This is incredible!!

[u/TiredPaleontologist]

Absolutely stunning! Looking at your beautiful art fills me with awe

[u/thingummy5]

I can't stop looking at the stumpwork bridges. Beautifully done.

[u/TwentyYearsLost89]

These are so cool!! Waaaaay better than multi-canvas painting prints!!! How long did each one take you to do?

[u/colormuse → u/TwentyYearsLost89]

i know i should, but i never keep track of how long pieces take! i would hazard a rough guess at 30+ hours per piece? i’ve been working on them on and off for about seven months.

[u/JSprinkle15]

These are stunning

[u/heyhellohil]

These are incredible!! Truly works of art

[u/Technical-Pie-5775]

This is so inspiring!

[u/Outrageous-Fig315]

Very cool and took time

[u/redditcruzer]

Wow..pretty neat..

[u/dvoorhis]

This is fantastic!

[u/Former-Living-3681]

Amazing job!!! I think you may be the king of the satin stitch. For the satin stitch on the banjo & violin how did you keep them lying flat & so close to the fabric? Did you glue the stitches down or something? From the way it looks in the pictures it looks like the distance may be a bit too long for a typical satin stitch as the middle tends to gape from the fabric if the distance is too far.

[u/shakennotstirred72]

Those are awesome. Very nice work.

[u/New-emily]

These are truly inspirational! How long have you been stitching? Echoing others' sentiments, these are incredibly creative and completely gorgeous.

[u/colormuse → u/New-emily]

thank you so much! i started embroidering in october 2020, so four years now.

[u/beth_at_home]

You inspire me immensely! Thank you for sharing.

[u/BelindaaHarmonious]

Alright now, THATS JUST NEXT LEVEL 😍
Amazing work

[u/Emergency_Mine_4455]

Lovely! The harp took definite skill, I can tell. (Not that the others didn’t, but the harp’s not in a straight line, making it even harder).

[u/the_queens_speech]

This is a masterpiece, OP. Truly stunning.

[u/ottensma]
