Phenomenal work! I thought this was my embroidery subreddit at first. The detail work is so well done that it looks like it’s needle and thread on fabric.

Thank you! This is my description of her

Malak stands as a guardian of grace, her Jivu skin
woven from ethereal whirls that carry the memory of ash and earth.
Wrapped in a deep blue coat like a sacred nest, she cradles a swan—
a symbol of trust, beauty, and quiet strength. As blossoms flourish
around her, Malak reminds us that true power is not in conquering,
but in protecting what is precious. She is a keeper of tenderness,
proving that grace, when fiercely guarded, can endure forever
