Hey y'all!I've received the question sporadically, particularly for the "this email could have been a duel" hoop, so I figured I'd create a quick FAQ slide. Long story short: bring me a fresh take, color palette or view on a previous piece, and I'm happy to bring that to life!The only thing I won't do is copy the same hoop over and over again in exactly the same way with the same bead placements. Not only is that night impossible with freehand embroidery, it also goes against the concept of them being "one of a kind".Hope these slides help explain my thoughts on the matter a bit better!#maximalistart#mixedmediaart#beadembroidery #faqfriday by @ansitru

Revisiting a design I made last year for today's @marchmeetthemaker prompt, because unfortunately... It's still very topical.And yes, it's okay to punch n@zis!--💐 Floriography 💐- Geranium: stupidity- Gladiolus: ready-armed, strength of character- Butterfly weed: "leave me" or "you've been warned"- Tansy: “I declare war on you”- Orange lilium: hatred, revenge- Lotus corniculatus: revenge- Trifolium pratense: I promise, revenge#marchmeetthemaker2026 #crossstitchpattern #floriography #flowerembroidery by @ansitru

The mood lately.I'd like a little more whimsy and a little less rage, please. 🫴--(On an unrelated note, someone on @tumblr told me this image reminds them of a book cover and that has got to be the coolest compliment. Authors, if you're down.. I'm down. 👀)#craftivism #whimsycore#politicalart #embroidery #trinketpilled by @ansitru

THROWBACK TIMEI recently found a photo back of one of the very first cross-stitches I ever designed and stitched.Compared to one of my more recent ones.. I'd definitely say I've improved in terms of color and detail, no? 🤭Still love the first one too, though. Without it, I wouldn't be where I am today. 🖤#throwbacktuesday #glowup✨ #crossstitch by @ansitru

Fuck - and I can't stress this enough - your AI flyer. It looks ugly. It looks cheap. It looks exactly the same as everyone else's. Quite frankly, I'd rather see the event advertised with sharpie on a post-it note, than see the equivalent of a pictorial poop, which wasted water and doesn't even look decent. #antiai #humanart #beadembroidery by @ansitru

A while back, I visited @stoffenspektakel and spotted tartan fabrics in cyan, pink and yellow.So naturally, as an illustrator... I had to make a series with the matching hoops and Czech glass beads. 👀First up: cyan. With this bright color, it just can't be a blue Monday in the figurative sense. 💙 ✨#cmyk #beadembroidery #maximalistart by @ansitru
