Sketching in Embroidery

4" x 4"
Cotton on linen

Since such a large part of my current project will be executed in embroidery and that embroidery is quite precise, I'm giving myself room to play. This is an example of free hand embroidery sketching. I work off any inspiration and my only rule is that nothing is sketched or planned out in advance. I'm just taking needle and thread and having at it. This is so much fun and allows me plenty of freedom to experiment. Building in play is a wonderful thing!
