It was so much fun adding the "weather" to this piece. I plan on developing this whole concept of home portraits more fully over the next year, teaching it too. (Stay tuned....)
A detail.....
The flurries of snow actually act as a secondary frame--there is another across the lower left corner. They each cover a part of the photograph that would have been difficult to augment with stitching or just wasn't that visually "necessary" to show anyway.
This measures 12" X 15".Gosh it was fun to do!
Now I have a couple of quick Christmas stockings to whip up...a niece lost her Christmas box during her last move, you see......
Hello Allie, Truly beautiful work of art, and I asure you it looks like that right now in Michigan. We are having a terrible blizzard at the moment. VBG. Hugs Judy

ReplyDeleteI love the little embroidered snowflakes! The whole thing has that lovely misty snow quality.
ReplyDeleteIt's a winter wonderland! This is a great idea for a gift...I'm going to have to remember that one. And the snowy pics with all the different doilies and snowy flakes...and your superb depth of field stitching...makes the whole thing come together into a panoply of cozy creativeness! If she doesn't love it, I'll eat my top hat!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't realize I was wearing one did you ;)
It's really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour snow flurries are beautiful. So delicate!
