A lot of folks ask me about my process so I did a photo timeline from beginning to end. Well, almost the beginning.... I forgot to take pics of the initial design on canvas before the embroidery began, although you can see some green marker peeking out from the embroidery on the first photo. I started this piece two weeks ago and finished it last night - bound for etsy today.
Yes, I use this tiny, tiny brush to do all the bits that are right next to the embroidery - it's the only way to make sure the paint doesn't get onto the thread - and it does take a very long time :)
This is the first time I've done a completely abstract embroidery piece without a clue as to where I was going with it. It was freeing to watch the piece take shape and I think I will do more like this :)
