This is the last in my series of 'childhood heroes' embroidery portraits, Bob Ross. <3



Here are all of them together, Crystal Gayle, Shel Silverstein, Jacques Cousteau, Bob Ross


I suppose I was an odd sort of child...

Look at those happy little trees! Bob Ross was one of my favourties too, as well as Shel Silverstein. I've long considered getting a half-sleeve of where the sidewalk ends tattooed. Amazing work and a fantastic idea!

oh my goodness!  Those are all just perfect.  You really captured the personalities.  I love Jaques on the fish, and those are some very "happy trees"

Well done!

You may have been an odd child, but I think all four of them would appreciate these. They are a fitting tribute.

Happy little trees!   Cheesy

I guess we're all a little odd, Bob Ross and Jacques Cousteau are still my heroes.

Your embroidery is great, I love all the details like the mushrooms and raccoon. And Bobs hair is perfect...looks just like him.

I may not be perfect, but I'm so close it's almost eerie.

"Happy Little Trees..." My favorite is when he used to paint "Happy Little Clouds" because I never thought of clouds as happy until he said it Wink

I love this! And, I have fond memories of all 4 of the folks you've immortalized in floss. Nicely done!
