Hand-stitched Sheeep.

After my stitched Jims I felt like making an entire image instead of a little sample.

I had the idea for this image by looking back through some of my Foundation work.
The scan doesn't do justice to the embroidery.
It looks dirty. I assure you its not.

Fabric painting is more time consuming then it looks.

Every layer of paint you put down has to be tumble dried until its completely dry.

I had several attempts before I realised this where the ink ran which was really frustrating.

I think this technique would work really well in a childrens book.

You rarely see entirely stitched illustrations.
