Three leaf-shaped patches! You can see where with the second one I made (top) I got a bit of hubris because the first one (right) went so well. Freehanding this sort of stuff while watching something interesting is not recommended lol. So it's a bit wonky. Third one (left) turned out pretty nice though. Now working on a mushroom shaped one.

Idea: sew some cute little moths with scrap fabrics and sew them on holes you have on your clothes so you can keep wearing them :)

symbiosis
some visible mending I did on an old flannel recently! this was fun but took me so long to convince myself to do, Im very happy with how its come out though. The lichens are oak moss, bloodstain lichen, a third thats very common in texas but i forgot the name of, and then some lovely little algae (i love algae in theory but hate it in eutrophication ;v;)
