A Use for Unusable Photos

Do you have pictures hanging around that are of people who do not know? How about ones of the ex boyfriend? Well, I created a tutorial showing how to turn photo trash into treasure.

Making the Old New Again

Thanks very much to those of you who helped out with my post yesterday!

Since a lot of you seemed to like my armadillo, here, this is what happens when you let your Pun Muse get drunk and have her say in what should be created.

New Project

This is going to be an ongoing thing. I'm planning to do portraits of my nephews next.
This is a picture I took of a friends little girl at her first dance recital. I think it translates well to the embroidery. The color was done with Prismacolor pencils and set with a textile medium.

It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the embroidery thread for the dress is the pearlescent white to give the effect of the same shine as in the picture.

Been a long time... I still haven't caught up here!  Between making my own laundry detergent (woo, exciting!) and Christmas, my mother's birthday and my own, getting more involved in the community and my kids' school, I've lost the habit of checking in at LJ - I just don't have a full hour of time anymore.

My embroidery machine abets my delinquence, too.  I've named her "Baby" - because she demands my constant attention.  That is: I have to be present while she stitches out designs, or she'll have a tantrum. We've come to an agreement: I will quietly sew uninspiring stuff while she works on a design, so I can drop everything the instant she beeps for a thread change.

Here's the most interesting stuff I've been working on. (I know, and I'm sorry.)
