I adored the little drawing and note my son wrote when he was eight and printed a copy of it for my painted sketchbook page. I thought it would be fun to do this page in stitch.
Colours are not quite as intense, but it is a acrylic color wash on yellow fabric. Next I will start the embroidery at the lower half. The doctor figure is trapunto, which you might be able to see close up. Basically trapunto is when the design is outlined with two or more rows of running stitches and then padded from the underside to achieve a raised effect.
I love what you're doing with your embroidered art; I'm jealous even. The small works are intriguing but I can't help wondering how amazing they could be on a very large scale.
I have to think about the larger scale Loretta :) that would be quite a challenge. But hey I seem to like that right lol! Glad you like what I'm doing.
Hiay Leanne, thanks. Hey how is your finger, you got a bite yes?

I've been here twice to see this, and just love it. I am truly enjoying your stitchery, Corrinne. Beautiful. I like that you are turning drawings into these stitched pieces. It's been years since I did trapunto, or even embroidery. You are inspiring me.
I find embroidered art really unique and fascinating. I love your work. (:
