The next major project is at last done. 5inch hoop, mostly single strand with three strand for the scales. Holo shimmer accents, felt padding for the bubbles. I like how it turned out for my first fish!
Say hello to my absolute favorite piece I've made this far. This is Diane, a sumatran tiger from the San Diego zoo. I adored everything about this piece, and it was remarkably hard to let this one go. This was anywhere from 50-60 hours? Probably? Fully hand embroidered with single strand thread. I'll post a short TikTok I made of the process of this next.
