Here is a spider I embroidered using the "lace" technique. This method of embroidery is a lot of fun to work, as it allows so much versatility in ways it can be used. Lace embroidery is made to stand alone, such as an ornament or patch. Lace, also referred to as cutwork or whitework, is made by removing threads from a woven or fabric backdrop, and leaving only the embroidery threads creating a self sustained piece of artwork.
You do such delicate work! I love to embroidery. Haven't done enough of it lately. This is a work of art! upvoted, resteemed and followed. Would love the follow back. <3

@crosheille has made an initiative here on Steemit to spread needlework art and get it displayed. Sewing, knitting and crocheting seems to have become a lost art, that is until Steemit. There are quite a few crafters that still love these arts. A group of us share our needlework creations every Monday using the tag #NeedleworkMonday. We share ideas, tips, patterns and techniques while encouraging and inspiring one another. Any art involving a needle is welcome! You can post new projects that you are working on or archived projects that you have pictures of. We would love for you to join us on Mondays and post under the tag so everyone can find your work. It has gotten pretty popular these past few months and more crafters are starting to share. We hope you check it out :) Thanks for your time~
