I'm still getting my head around this Mastodon thing, (my last post was 2 years ago)...my millennial brain seems to only compute with Instagram and Facebook marketplace at best - but I'm keen to share my work here as it seems like a welcoming space.
I make things - mostly freehand machine embroidery pieces. I'm fascinated by lichen-like forms - nature's ability to hold and transform is humbling in these current times.

@susannahcollins These are absolutely fascinating, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of “freehand embroidery” (but I’m not very familiar with embroidery in general). So cool! 😎

@boby_biq thanks so much! Freehand machine embroidery is just a fancy way of saying that I use the sewing machine to essentially draw (there are special machine feet and adjustments on the machine for this)

The way to get a following on Mastodon is by using #hashtags.
Mastodon doesn't have an algorithm that feeds you new posts, so when people are interested in something, they have to look for it themselves.
They often do that by searching on #hashtags.
For example, in your case: art, embroidery, lichen, artist, Collins

@susannahcollins I'm blind and use a screen reader and when I first heard your name I thought, "wow, the author of the Hunger Games books is on Mastodon?" 😀 I soon realized your name is spelled differently and that you're not the Hunger Games author but I still welcome you to Mastodon. It's a great community and I hope that everyone makes you feel welcome.
