Hand Embroidery Drawing.

It's taken a long time to get to where i am now, but i have taken it most places with me sewing in the car, at work on my lunch and even on the bus ! Doing little bits here and there has probably made it seem much longer than it actually would be, but a couple of hours at least has gone into this.
I quite like it as i have used different stitches to reflect textures. The french knots give a soft and fluffy look, whereas the beading reflects the light and looks quite smooth and streamline.

Tomorrow i am determined to finish it and i have some devore fabric that i would like to free embroider using the machine onto it to interpret feathers. This means on this individual drawing i have incorporated hand embroidery,embellishment/beading and free embroiderying!

Since being at uni i now always turn things around and upside down and i really like the negative side to this fabric!! It's a bit more looser looking!
