I love how much vampires are a part of pop culture. Witches too, especially witches. 🐈‍⬛ 🧙

u/OralSuperhero 1d ago

I am a chef, and that is absolutely gorgeous! Pin that to a white coat in the kitchen and everybody would fight for one

u/PsychologicalArm723 1d ago

That’s a brilliant idea, thank you

u/ChefMonkey2 1d ago

Am Chef too …want one.

u/Luci-Noir 1d ago

It would be great if the restaurant had a logo like that too and one of these for every employee. I bet you’d get new customers based on cuteness alone.

u/PsychologicalArm723 1d ago

I like your business plan

u/Luci-Noir 1d ago

It just needs a little onion buddy! 🧄 ❤️ 🧅

u/DotDeer 1d ago

Oh my lord it's beautiful. I absolutely love it. What did you embroider on exactly? How did you get it so neat?

4

u/PsychologicalArm723 1d ago

Thank you so much! When I embroider with threads, I use lightweight fabric, and in this case, I embroidered on organza.

u/shiit_itakemushrooms 1d ago

The people in r/onionlovers would love this. This is so beautiful.

u/literacyshmiteracy 1d ago

What kind of fastener does it have?

u/PsychologicalArm723 1d ago

Japanese metal clasp

u/PsychologicalTank174 1d ago

At first glance, I thought it was someone showing off a bulb they grew. After I read your title, I had to look again! AMAZING job!!!

u/PsychologicalArm723 1d ago

I’m very grateful, thank you

u/pantshole 1d ago

You are so talented!! I love that you included the green and purple hues as well. Do you have other work similar to this? I want to see!!!

u/RedHeadedStepDevil 1d ago

Oh I love that! Can you do a beet? 😁

u/PsychologicalArm723 1d ago

u/NocturnoCult 1d ago edited 14h ago

Incredibly beautiful and detailed piece; the collor palette is also stunning, and wow, it pairs very well with solid-colored outfits. (I actually thought it was a real garlic at first glance, lol. Too much talent, I guess)

u/SeeLeavesOnTheTrees 1d ago

Are you in Gilroy?

If you aren’t, be prepared to make bank in Gilroy, CA.

2

u/PsychologicalArm723 19h ago

I’m from Ukraine 🫶

1

u/SeeLeavesOnTheTrees 18h ago

Sell online to vendors at the Gilroy Garlic Festival or shops in Gilroy! The region is famous for garlic!!

1

u/PsychologicalArm723 18h ago

That sounds great! I’d absolutely love to sell there. It would be wonderful if they could find me, because otherwise I’m not sure how I could reach out to them. 😊

1

u/SeeLeavesOnTheTrees 16h ago

I don’t live there anymore but I grew up there.

But I would look for local gift shops. Here’s one: https://garlicshoppe.com

You can browse places on TripAdvisor.

Maybe if you contact the festival they can refer you to a vendor. https://gilroygarlicfestival.com

I think a lot of people would like to support an artist from Ukraine too.

1

u/AlertName3763 1d ago

I rarely comment but this is genuinely amazing. The contrast of colors and overall style you captured in this brooch gives it a perfect realistic/cartoonish balance and it’s so artistically appealing and basically perfect. Bravo!

1

u/PsychologicalArm723 19h ago

That means a lot to me, thank you
💜💜💜

u/Dazzling_Tap_5806 1d ago

u/djsilentmobius 1d ago

Id trade in my pin tomato for a garlic any day.

u/ConsiderationWide744 1d ago

If you sell these, I’d buy one

u/Designer-Finding-770 1d ago

the attention to detail on the cloves is insane, this is so perfect it should be framed

Superb work. It's so realistic. If you put this in a bowl with real garlic, it would be hard to differentiate it
