Great texture from Fibrearts on Tumblr...could use matte board or cardboard canvas, felt circles or painted bubble wrap bubbles, yarn and or floss thread dipped in starch to adhere to the cardboard....
I really enjoyed stitching this piece as I really didn't have a clue what it would be about when I started. I began by stitching a face without a drawing to refer to and it took me quite a while to work out who she was. As soon as her eyes appeared I knew she was one determined woman! It certainly isn't the most efficient way to work, but sometimes not having a plan can lead to quite unexpected results (and quite a lot of unpicking!) I hope you like her. Wishing you a very creative weekend…
