    Since folks seemed to enjoy this moth buddy, I recently made a cicada friend using a similar color palette you can see here th-cam.com/video/4lGshWYwdaM/w-d-xo.html 💚🧵

    Watching this makes me realize that I absolutely do not have the patience for beading. I barely have the patience for embroidery. But your INTRO LOOK. The hair, the wrap, the makeup, the shirt... It is *exquisite*.

    Your broaches are much better than abstract broaches and I am sure you get far more comments. It shows more talent to make something intentional rather than a collage of bits and bobs. Thank you 💖 I will have to try

    This is so beautiful, it's been a couple decades since ive tried embroidery, but when my nana was teaching me she would always say that the back MUST look as neat and tidy as the front. She would be very impressed by your stunning talent, care and attention to detail.

    I'm an artist, jewelry and bead lover of all kinds. I've searched and collecting the supplies for making a beaded purse w/kiss closure. I've always loved the look and technique in bead art, the long sparkly flowing dresses. I might give this a try at first. You make it look so easy and doable and seems very therapeutic and with flow of creativity! ❤ Etsy, while I've found some suppliers with vintage sequins and beads most all are from another country and beautiful indeed. Well worth the wait. Thanks for the share and inspiration. Your creations are stunning

    Love the hairstyle, turban or head wrap, and wow, that eye shadow! Love the colors. I feel I must make an insect brooch. Maybe a fuzzy and sparkly bee. I can’t recall if you’ve done anything with iridescent or see through wings. That would be amazing.

    Watching your channel and Tessa Perlow's has been making me want to take up bead embroidery! I do have some beads lying around from a time I tried making some jewelry... but I KNOW I'll end up buying more beads than using up my stash. So your point about collecting beads not being so expensive and feeling like you're collecting jewels hit me in a soft spot 😂
    Gorgeous work, as always ❤

    Your videos have been so awesome for me! I have been realizing I not only had everything to create these kinds of embroidered pieces, but how much I enjoy playing with color, materials, etc. I followed one of your beaded bugs first, using similar materials, and then progressed to making more using different materials like silk thread, thin shell beads, and figuring out how to mount them on plaques. Thank you for the inspiration to create something new!

    Your exquisite beauty quite took my breath away when I clicked on this video! And somewhat like one other commenter, I now most ardently desire to craft a moth brooch - despite the fact that I despise craft with a passion, and would be rubbish at it!! But seriously, the brooch and the video were well crafted, your voice is soothing, and I'll take vicarious pleasure in watching your other crafting videos.

    How lovely, my favourite too. In our local woods, behind my house, we have a moth specialist who comes and sets up a couple of times a year. We usually catch between 60 and 80 different species each time.. They are amazing. Each one goes in a clear plastic container, is examined, documented, then released. Great fun x
