I’m so used to shrinking photos down for the web - and taking dance photos, that I forget that people might want more detail in my photos of my needlework. The colored pencil works fine in a smaller format… 
But needlework, not so much! Try this one for a bit more detail (just note, it’s over a meg in size so will open slowly):
And just because I mentioned them, I’ll try to post some of my colored pencil work tomorrow, since I don’t have digital copies at my day job.
Very different than your usual endeavors. Well done you. It can be difficult working out of your comfort zone but you’ve done a good job.
Thanks, Linn. I’m enjoying this very much. There’s a new colored piece in progress, but I haven’t had time to do any photographing or uploading recently!
You did a great job with the stitching and captured the feeling of the beach.
Oooh, this is really neat!
