Quilts

I've designed most of the stuff on here, as well as making it. If I use a pattern, it will be stated in the caption.

Small square quilt with muted florals. There is a line of four bright blue shapes going across the diagonal.
My first ever quilt, Frisbee in the Garden. I hand-quilted it. Piecing and design were a collaboration with my wife.
Unfinished quilt with big yellow stars. There are safety pins holding it together.
Preview of my current quilting project: a celestial tesselation!
Seven fabric hexagons sewn together in a cluster.
I made four of these EPP coaster tops a couple years ago and haven't quilted them yet. The middle fabric is a gift from my friends.
Center of unfinished tumbling-blocks quilt with radial symmetry.
My work-in-progress English paper piecing quilt. I made the design while doodling in my computer graphics class. I like the radial symmetry. English piecing takes forever, and I have no idea if I'll ever finish! That's why I'm starting from the middle, so it's easier to give up and still have something pretty.

Embroidery

I don't do as much embroidery anymore, but the stuff I used to do is really cool!

Dragon curve fractal embroidered onto a patch and embellished with a dragon head, claws, and spines.
Dragon curve I made for my wife when we first met. Inspired by the iconic video by Vi Hart.
A big round eyeball with green eyes and a diamond pupil is staring straight at you, embroidered in a dense brick-like stitch pattern. Clusters of chain-stitch leaves and wandering back-stitch roots sprout from it.
I started this freshman year of college and then forgot about it halfway finished until like four years later. It's inspired from a doodle I did while I should have been taking notes.
A hybrid of a human skull and an angler fish. It has horns, a fish tail, and a glowing lure that shines in front of it. It is desnsely stitched in a brick-like pattern that follows the contours of the skull, and sits against a fabric with a bubble background.
I made this for a friend I met at band camp. It's inspired by our skeleton and deep-sea creature inspired theme for our band.
Little My has her hands on her hips and a devious little smirk on her face. She is embroidered in outline, and has little red stitches accentuating the hem of her dress.
I made this for my mom. It's traced from a little cartoon of Little My from the Moomins. I think I captured the expression really well for just a few stitches.

Misc

I love to dabble. I love to be a beginner. Here's some art pieces in mediums I don't often visit.

Assorted photographs and diagrams are jumbled together haphazardly on the page. An ad states: Mars is peopled, and they want soap! Galileo is hanging out with a volcano. Small text at the top says 'Cometa'.
After our last quantum final senior year, my physics classmates and I sat around and cut up old physics textbooks to make collages. This is mine.
Black and white photograph. Dark shadows dance across something standing against the bricks. It's a pair of rubber work boots. Their shape is mostly obscured, but the side of one boot and the toes are brightly illuminated.
I took film photography in high school. I liked seeing what shapes I could make with hard lighting. These boots are one of the photos I'm most proud of. I love how the lighting makes them almost abstract, and I love how different the bricks look in the sun versus the shadow.
