One of my favorite elements of embroidery is the unlimited amount of subjects that can be used for designs.
It can truly be an expression of you, seeing as you can choose to create embroidery of the things in your life that bring you joy. Such as flowers, butterflies, anime…oh what’s that?
You didn’t know there were anime embroidery designs?
Well there absolutely are…
Before we go any further lets have a brief discussion of…
The History of Anime
For those of you who have never heard of it, Anime is a kind of Japanese animated show or movie. The word Anime is actually derived from the english word animated itself! Anime has been around since the 1900s, and has only risen in popularity! Millions of people around the world are fans of this style of entertainment.
Some of the most popular animes come from Studio Ghibli and Kyoto Animation. Studio Ghibli is world-renowned for their animated films, with 6 of these actually being apart of the 15 highest earning films in Japan!
The film Spirited Away, holding the title of #1. This is for good reason, it’s pure art! From storyline to the animation itself(especially the animation itself), you’ll be blown away. This movie can will make it into your top 5 favorites for sure!
The three biggest Anime Shows in the world continue to be: Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. But there are THOUSANDS for you to choose from in every catergory; romance, mystery, thriller, you name it and theres an anime that resides in that genre! It’s really impressive. Of course, with anime holding such a huge portion of entertainment in the world, it has accrewed a massive following, with millions of fans around the world who appreciates this style of animation!
Why You Should Create Anime Embroidery
First of all, it’s loads of fun. Embroidery itself is actually very beneficial for you to do; It alleviates stress, lowers anxiety, and even lowers your blood pressure! Theres actually many more benefits as well but we’ll save those for another day.
Creating anime embroidery is a wonderful way for you to combine two things you may be passionate about! It’s also a great idea because anime converts so well into thread because of its animation style! If you were to try and embroider a real life movie or tv show character, it will turn out to be much more difficult than creating an anime one. The latter is beginner friendly, and we love that.
Not to mention, you get to make your own merch!
Have a specific scene or character that you like? You can put it on a hat, a sweatshirt, heck you can put basically anything that has fabric! Chances are you’ll probably save money doing it too. Your end product will be something that both makes you happy and brings you pride!
Just imagine that moment when you’re wearing one of your creations out in public and someone says, “Thats awesome! Where did you get it?” and you get to reply, “I made it!” How cool will that be.
Getting started can be hard. After all there is so many to choose from you may not know where to start!
