This is amazing! This looks so good. Damn. . . Please don’t stop.

I just randomly came to /r/art today and saw this and it’s amazing.

Thank you so much! I plan on stitching until my hands can no longer hold a needle

Question from a friend,

Is the yurt made of garlic? Is it like a giant bulb of garlic? Or does it just smell like garlic?

Love it, thought I was on the r/Embroidery subreddit! The creative coloring makes it look underwater. Fantastic job in stitching and design! Particularly impressed with the whiskers, did you use a whipped backstitch of like... 1 thread? : )

Thank you! The whiskers were done with some stiff quilters cotton thread I found in my sewing kit. It's basically the stiffness of actual whiskers so each one is just a loose straight stitch that I didn't pull all the way through the fabric.

Love it! Must be what makes the angles look just right for whiskers; some buoyant, some affected by gravity. Brilliant job.

That is wonderful. Your stitches for the fur make me want to pet it. The color blending is beautiful. Well done!

Excellent work, and I love your colour choices! Also what an interesting fabric, may I ask what it is?

It's just a quilting cotton. I think I got it at Jo-Ann.

We don’t have a Jo-Ann’s here, I’ve never seen the fabric. I’m curious though, since you chose a blue fabric, which came first? Were the colours you chose to use for the otter because of the blue fabric, or vice versa?

It was a little bit of both. I chose the floss and fabric to complement each other

The 'catchlights* of the eyes really add realism.

Veri nicely done.
