I lost my mum many many years ago. One time I decided to stitch her portrait and what a gift that experience was- all the little memories I uncovered while I embroidered this piece were so precious to me #embroidery #handembroidery #craftsky #stitchsky

French martini’s represent so many good times with my girl gang. One of the girl gangs husbands happens to be an expert at shaking a cocktail and this is a thread painting embroidery of his hand offering us another treasured martini. #embroidery #craftsky #threadpainting

An oval canvas pictures an embroidered arm and hand holding a French martini, rendered using the thread painting technique. The canvas is surrounded by embroidery floss in all shades of blue, orange and yellow.
