Some weeks ago I bought some embroidery hoops at Goodwill, six small ones for 1.99! So I was thinking of doing this collection of random and kind of messy animals in one color... BUT! The problem is that I am really square and geeky… I never liked drawing outside the line; in fact all my drawings (to date) have a darker outer line!!! Yes!! After kindergarten I kept wanting the lines to trap the color in!!
So the thing is, when I do embroidery, I actually do cross stitching, because I love the security of straight lines, but animals in my mind need to be wild, chaotic and can’t be reduced to a pixel like forms.
So… well I think it is the perfect time to search the web for a little inspiration and some good ideas on how to make a really cool embroider animal that seem pattern free (or are, but I will somehow find a way to make mine with a pattern).
