From Sketch to Stitch.

This Pastel painting was the inspiration for a small embroidery of trees in the sun. The threads that I chose were yellows, greens blues and purples. 

Two trees Stitched on airbrushed Silk

Then there was three.

To complete this piece I adding more airbrushing.

Well here are a couple of pieces I am working on at the moment. Both pieces are inspired by local landscapes, that have been photographed, one has been sketched in colored pencil and then I have painted the silk background, before I  have begun the the thread painting.
