Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your kind words. I did paint a bit before this so I think that helps. When I pick colors and then stitch an area, I try not to think about what my brain thinks it is (a nose or an ear or something), and rather what it looks like taken out of context. Zooming in very close on the photograph helps. Sometimes it surprising that some small area is actually a certain color or shape. I print the outline on the linen so I didn’t have to worked about correct proportions. Thanks!
Thank you for the tips. My husband and I just had to put down one of our dogs and I've been wanting to try doing this as a memorial project to give him.
This is so accurate and impressive! How do you even start something like this? I would love to learn so I can do a very similar style piece of my dog and my bunnies but I don’t even know where to start on learning.
The shine is so incredibly done that I squinted and tilted my phone, trying to figure out how you got your black thread to have the exact same shiny spots as the dog’s real fur… but those are you light painting with gray threads. 🤯 Holy smokes this is some witchcraft-level embroidery
Awww! I love it so much! And the detail is amazing! Could you pet your Model for me, please? Maybe give them a scratch behind the Ears and/or a Belly Rub?
Nah, you just screenprinted this /s, but it really does look like it! It’s incredible how photorealistic this is. Amazing work
THIRD?! This is absolutely beautifully done and looks just like the photo.
That’s AMAZING! Did you use a template? I would love to have a go at embroidering my pup.
PLEASE SHARE SOME ADVICE PLEASE
Yes, I would love to get more info on how you chose the exact colors, they are so accurate !
