Kalì nifta
I almost forgot about this little piece I embroidered a while ago but didn’t frame until last week. It’s inspired by a traditional song from south Italy where my dad’s from.
Song under the cut
Kalì nifta
Ti en glicea tusi nifta ti en òria
cìevò plonno pensèonta ‘ss'esena
C'ettù mpì ‘s ti ffenèstra ssu agàpi mu
tis kardia mmu su nifto ti ppena.
Larilò larilò lallerò, larilò larilò llà llà……
Evò panta ss'esena penseo
jati ‘sena, fsichi mmu ‘gapò
ce pu pao, pu sirno, pu steo
sti kkardìa panta sena vastò
Larilò larilò lallerò, larilò larilò llà llà……
Kali nifta se finno ce pao
plaia ‘su ti vo pirda prikò
ma pu pao, pu sirno pu steo
sti kkardia panta sena vastò.
Larilò larilò lallerò, larilò larilò llà llà……
Ti en glìcea tusi nìfta, ti en òria
C' evò e' plonno pensèonta ‘ss'esèna,
C'ettu-mpì ‘s ti' ffenèstra-ssu, agàpi-mu,
Sti kardia-mu su nìfto ti ppena.
Evò panta ss'èsena penseo
jatì' sena, fsichi-mmu ‘gapò
Ce pu pao, pu sìrno, pu steo,
sti kkardia panta sena vastò.
Lalallalalero...
And Finrod fell before the throne
Piece inspired by the Duel of Finrod and Sauron from the Lay of Leithian rock opera.
See under the cut for some more inspirations (and a Leithian photo dump)
The pics with the screen background come after I already started on my piece but they match perfectly the aesthetic I was going for and I just wanted to post them anyways.
Another big inspo was the art used for The Battle of Finrod and Sauron by Clamavi de Profundis, here’s a mediocre screenshot:
Last in my inspirations were several fanarts I saw on tumblr using the a similar colour scheme with abstract swirls to represent the song of power.
day 5 of quarantine, I’ve run out of fabric and have had to resort to cross stitching this old strainer. Turned out pretty good I think! by Skittle_kittle
Long time no update. The second half of 2023 really ran me over until I was completely flat and all of my blood was gone. But I’m back babey! This is everything I finished in January 2024. Three embroidered hoops, three embroidered pins, and two collages. This doesn’t include the sketching and tie dyeing for future projects. Don’t know what kinda manic wave I’m riding but we’re gonna ride it till it crashes!
Latest and greatest embroidery project yet, complete with bling!
I am so excited to share this, as it's based on gorgeous artwork by @runawaymun that accompanies her fic To Partake, both of which I am asbolutely obsessed with (in case that that wasn't obvious).
I've been wanting to make this ever since I saw the artwork for the Nightingale Pin almost a year ago, but at the time I didn't really have the skills to pull it off. But I kept thinking about it and the bug never left me so here we are :). Of course there are things I would do differently next time, but I love how this came out regardless and I hope it reps the original artwork in some small measure!
I'm so inspired by @runawaymun's fic and art along with all the other writers and artists that post amazing things on this site every day; your talent and creativity makes me want to push my own creative boundaries, and so I have!
