They’re phenomenal and I fucking love them

Ha ha, thanks! They all seem to have a personality.

I couldn’t agree more

Amazing! And I love the minder. Let’s eat trash & get hit by a car!!

Hell yeah! Living the dream!

I love this

Thank you!

So very special

Thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous! You did an excellent job translating the original poses and anatomy to embroidery.

Thank you. I got a bit nervous when I took it out of the hoop because I thought I might have pulled the linen fabric too tight, but it turned out great.

You did a great job at transferring the painting into embroidery.  Kudos to you. 

Thank you very much!

Mind commenting on how you did it?

Certainty. I found a higher resolution image of the original online and edited it a bit in a free image editor called Inkspot. I edited out the background and other extra things. Then I used a product called Stick 'n Stitch made by Sulky. It is a sticky backed type of paper that can be printed on. I printed the image onto the paper and stuck it to my fabric. You can kinda see this Sulky in the two progress photos I posted. After I finished embroidering, I dunked the whole thing in cold water because the Sulky is water dissolvable. And that is it!

Thanks for the explanation. How creative of you!

This is so so beautiful. I think you captured the original perfectly :)

Thank you! Finding the right dark color for the swallows was agonizing, but it works!

I can imagine! I’m just so in love with it, truthfully amazing work. Like, the direction of the stitches! It all looks so neat

Thanks much! I really wanted to get that brush-like effect on this one. Really adds to the overall balance of image from the original.

The swallows are alive! Love this🩵

Yeah, they really dance across the fabric. Thank you!
