Finally finishing off this embroidery I started earlier in the year. For those of you with sharp eyes, yes the left leg is a slightly darker shade of pink and yes I will be re-doing it when I pick up some more thread but for the time being I'm hoping to incorporate this image somehow into a page for the 2010 diary project I found out about via Sam (check out Sam's entry, it's awesome!). The diary is black and white so hopefully the slightly darker shade of thread won't be too obvious. Serves me right for leaving things till the last minute!
And some more tiny stitches for lavender scented birds. These ones will be going off to Drift and Reverse Garbage.
For those who are waiting on plush cars, yep they are coming... hopefully next week... and for more creative spaces or to show off your own pop over to Kirsty's.
Pop back later for news about a BIG sale!!!

I love them..The girl is stunning, I don't think I could ever pull that off so I will just drool over yours :)
Your stitches as always are amazing
Beautiful embroidery I love both of them.
just catching up with you.
looks like you've been busy, both creating and enjoying other people's creations.
the pesky cat handbags you featured are wonderful!
have a happy thursday!
make sure to visit me on friday . . .
You are my embroidery guru. I love it. I love the turn of her legs. And did I hear the word SALE?!
how great is she! funny, i wouldn't have noticed the 2 colours if you didn't mention it :)
I think she is totally cool and I actually love the difference in the threads, I change colors all the time in my figure drawing- I think it makes the line work so much more visualy exciting!
Have a love day,
Annamaria
LOVE love love it, Rebecca!!! So totally cool and gorgeous - your entry is going to be the most fabulous page... I can tell already! K
Love the embroidered lady!
she looks like she lost her leg fighting a lion and had to get a prosthetic and she knows it's not matching AND she doesn't care what we think
Absolutely beautiful!
I love the darker shade oops. It looks fabulous.
Oh my, this is so impressive. The lady looks so real. Your embrodiery is amazing. Both pieces are stunning
that's so cool i love it ... reminds me of that film empire records for some reason ??
Sounds like lots of people like the darker shade pink - including me! :)
Hello :)
As usual your amazingly precise stitching turns me into a hairy green-eyed monster! I love your girl and I love her dark leg...it gives the picture a secret story.
I can't wait to see your page and thanks for liking mine :)
See ya
Sam
I'm not sure if I would have noticed the darker leg if you did not mention it. lol But it is an amazing work of embroidery! Love the other piece as well. :)
I love the embroidery I've been seeing lately - especially the embroidered sketches like this.
These little projects keep on bugging me to take out the needles, floss, and fabric and make something unique and nice.
Thanks for the inspirational post, as always! :)
Btw, the darker leg isn't too much of a distraction...and I love the wistful expression of this woman. Great!
Beautiful embroidery!
Amazing work, inspiring as ever!
I wish I had such a precise hand as yours - she's very hip. Love it.
i love this cool girl.
Completely lovely as usual Rebecca! Those tiny stalks of Lavender are divine. Hope you have a great week.
