Not the only story that the material offered, but the one that had struck me when I first read <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/NefertitiLivedHere?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NefertitiLivedHere</a> - one of discovery and collaboration, appreciation and admiration.<br> I think I've achieved it, and I hope that in a few weeks, I will be able to tell you how!<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/ArtistsLife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArtistsLife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/StorytellingInStitch?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StorytellingInStitch</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/HandEmbroidery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandEmbroidery</a>

For such tenacious colour, the effect on the gauze was disappointingly feeble.</p><p>I'm concerned about the inktense because the first gauzes are beginning to look much muddier than when I started, but I think acrylic ink is not a better solution, in the end.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DreamsOfAmarna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DreamsOfAmarna</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Overlays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Overlays</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Akhenaten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Akhenaten</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ArtistsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistsLife</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Experimenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Experimenting</span></a></p>
