Strawberry Girl: paint and embroidery
I decided to cut up an old painting and play with it. I've always liked this painting but didn't know what to do with it until now. Doing couching stitch on oil painted canvas isn't easy, but I like the effect. I also added white eyelashes on one eye.

Copyright Do's and Don'ts for Crafters
I mention this because there is some confusion in the craft world in regards to copyright. I can understand why. Here is the conundrum: an embroidery pattern is copyrighted, HOWEVER here is the dodgy part (from Tabberone's) and why knowing about it is important. You can use a copyrighted pattern you have purchased to create your own work for personal use or for sale, but you cannot publish the pattern or make minor alterations and claim it as your own.
