Dear Hearthians, I am happy to have finally found the courage to post here. My name is Tanya, I took up embroidery around a year ago to combat my concentration problems and ended up with a wonderful hobby. I love video games and a bunch of my ideas for projects are centered around them. I also enjoy the idea of “upgrading” the clothes that I already have by turning them into my embroidery canvas.

Long story short, I had a black pullover left from my ex, and I decided to give it new life and meaning. Let me show you! Please don’t judge too harshly, I’m still learning :)

This is what it looks like from the front:

I decided to keep the Sun more symbolic than realistic so that the scale would work for the pullover. Ash Twins and Timber Hearth turned out quite goofy, but I decided to keep them that way. Do you see a little trace of smoke from the campfire? :)

If you want to know what these black dots are - it’s a mystery to solve for you!

Here is our dear Brittle Hollow, still intact :) Again, a sort of symbolic interpretation of it.

My favorite turned out to be Dark Bramble. I loved how the thread mimicked the uneven structure of the wood/roots :)

Giant’s Deep was tricky to make on this stretchy fabric, but it turned out well I think. And, of course, the Gravity Canon right there :)

The White Hole with White Hole Station is on the shoulder.

This is a nod to Echos of the Eye ;)

Interloper, enveloped in blue light :)

And, of course, the Eye itself on the back:

This one was really hard to embroider on stretchy fabric - but also very fun.

This is my second big project after Trico from The Last Guardian (I should post it, too). It took me around 40 hours to complete, plus the planning, concept, and positioning. I have been wearing this one for some months now, low-key hoping that someone will recognize the game and will chat me up about it. Hasn’t happened yet, but I’ll keep hoping :) I live in Hamburg (Germany), so if you see a girl in this pullover - don’t be shy, let me know :)

P.S. What’s up with the Quantum Moon? This is a little puzzle for you ;)
