This is custom hand embroidery on lovely light weight fabric adorned with two birds and a tree branch. The embroidery hoop is approximately 7 3/4" wide and 6"tall. The bird that is flying away is saying a quote from The Decemberists, "and if you don't love me, let me go."

everytime i look at this piece, it makes me feel kinda sad... but then wonderful in a cathartic kind of way. i've had to say these words to someone before and then fly away like this little bird. it was one of the hardest and best things i've ever done.

Thanks for looking.

This is an original, one of a kind, watercolor painted and hand embroidered mermaid on canvas. The embroidery hoop measures approximately 14" in diameter and the outside hoop does not need to be attached to the piece to be displayed. This watercolor painting is accented with embroidery floss that sits off the canvas in a 3D fashion. It reacts beautifully in natural lighting.

This is a watercolor and embroidery piece created while studying a live figure model. It was completed in 2 hours. I have never embroidered so fast in my life. I prepared by lining my shirt with ten different color prethreaded needles. It was an interesting first attempt and I hope to have the opportunity to try this type of challenge again soon!
