Hibiscus




I was looking at my old shopping bag this morning and seeing the beautiful embroidery of Buddha on it. The Buddha is very intricate and done in a gold coloured thread on a dark red background. I thought I would try something similar.

Going through my photos I came across a picture of a hibiscus which I then used my art software to make the above drawing from which to embroider. I have got the usual problem of how to get the design onto the fabric especially as the design is quite intricate and the fabric a rather dark colour. But I have some ideas on that and hopefully something will work out.

Very good to have another project to get going.

This is the original photograph used to make the design.
