ReplyDeleteI really want to do an embroidered family portrait (from existing photos) for my best friend. I will...someday...
ReplyDeletei would embroider a wolverine in her natural environment. the colouration of a wolverine coat can make translating same realistically (as opposed to cartoonish) difficult. i would put in just enough background so she isn't floating, but the background would still need to look almost 2 dimensional while the wolverine would look 3 dimensional (if that makes sense).

ReplyDeleteBeing a PhD student in Marine Science, and an all around ocean geek, it would have to be something related to the ocean. I would really love to embroider a long wall hanging that would feature embroidered ocean creatures with shallow species at the top, and deep sea species at the bottom. Of course I would have to use glow in the dark thread since many of my favorite sea creatures are bioluminescent.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, Tilly!
Chooooose me!
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of egyptian goddesses going down the nile on a golden boat with lush wildlife and greenery on the banks of the river. Actually.. that would work quite well on the hem of a skirt too (misss Katie's idea, not mine :) ) as the scenenry could change as it goes round the edge.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly I have always liked hieroglyphic images and can see them working well as they're already an outline.
I will stitch a flamingo ! So cute...
