I just can’t stop thinking about Embroidery // I just can’t stop thinking // I just can’t stop.

Hello!

I’m Claire-Mélody Cascail aka Melarise (New Caledonia, 1985) // I am a Savage Embroiderer and Cross Stitch Pattern Designer and I am pretty sure I won't stop until my eyes want to // My favourite tools are: time, hands, threads, music, Internet and my cat // What I do when I’m not embroidering is playing with my band, smelling books, conquering new nap territories and swimming under the sun.
