Fish cushion

Embroidered fish cushion. 1st normal, 2nd short 15 second  night exposure, 3rd put through photodirector.

You know when you see something and you just have to take a photo. Then I was explaining how to take a long, 60 second exposure to someone but it was bright enough at 15 seconds. Finally I used the photodirector app again to add some texture.

This is not my embroidery, it’s a kneeling cushion in the local church. I thought it was really interesting, and had to take a photo.

Embroidery and illustration

Just been to an embroidery workshop online. I had a go at backstitch, running back stitch, chain stitch and French knots. I was trying out the whipped back stich. The paper was too thin so I glued on some post it notes and used a black line so the thread stands out better.. Messy but fun.. The cotton got tangled up so I decided to leave it till tomorrow.
