I’ve been having a lot of fun making embroidery hoop portraits. The soot sprites from Studio Ghibli are so adorable and charming, they seemed a perfect subject.

This 6 inch (15cm) embroidery hoop features a 2 inch (5cm) soot sprite made of faux fur, minky fabric, and plastic safety eyes. Their body has been lightly stuffed with polyfil stuffing in order to give them a three dimensional appearance. The sprite’s arms are hand embroidered using embroidery thread. Finally the stretched cotton background has been embellished with glass seed beads, and konpeitō candy made from pom poms.

This hoop is for sale in my Etsy store.
