behold the gorgeous "aerial embroidery" of Victoria Rose Richards

it's the landscape as seen from a plane, except as stitchwork

Item #1 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter, free to read/subscribe to here: https://buttondown.com/clivethompson/archive/linkfest-42-phytomining-adversarial-poetry-and/

A hand holds a circular embroidery hoop showing a detailed, textured aerial landscape with fields, roads, clusters of green trees, and a bright blue canal running vertically through the center. A small embroidered boat floats on the canal, adding a pop of color against the green terrain. The stitching varies in texture and density to mimic foliage, paths, and water, giving the scene a rich, tactile depth

@clive One of the great joys that comes with being on Mastodon is to find out you're not alone.
My partner embroidered this imaginary allotment garden, and included our own plot.
I'm currently embroidering a map of north Derbyshire and South Yorkshire at 1:33,000 scale. Just because.

A section of an embroidered map. It's a representation of the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale palette. Different coloured threads show the major roads and motorways; the waterways and larger bodies of open water, and the railways. The woodland and built up areas have been added by pen.

A circular embroidery of an allotment garden from the air. Each plot is distinct and the different plants, structures and surface textures have been worked in a variety of threads, colours and knots. The effect is a riotous mosaic.
