Today I’m sharing Mount Rainier images in 3 ways. Mount Rainier is an iconic mountain, southeast of Seattle, Washington.
This active volcano reaches a height of 14, 410 feet at its peak. Native American tribes surrounding the mountain had 20 different names for it. One of them, *nə(xʷ)xʷak’ʷ, translates to “(sky) scraper.”
Here’s a quick pen and ink drawing I did of Mount Rainier. This is a very simple line drawing.
Next, I show a picture I took of the mountain while on a flight to Seattle from Bend. There were some great clouds and low-lying fog that day.
The last picture shows an embroidery I did of Mount Rainier while I was in college. Since I hadn’t done much embroidery when I created this, I used a running stitch for the whole piece. The stitch is simple, but this was a time-consuming, complex piece of work.
These Mount Rainier images portray the mountain in simple to more complex ways.

Ahhh… Her Majesty. Around here she is more than just an icon … she has a pulse. And around here, we call her Tahoma. Lovely post 💜
Thanks, Bonnie Rae! Yes, she is a main character in the drama of Washington state. I knew of the Tahoma name, but never realized she had so many other names. 🙂
great stitching!
