"You have such a variety of subjects! I like this one because of how you caught light. Your tulips are translucent and yet have depth and volume....all in thread. Well done!"
Anna Maria Salehar replied to Sharon Thompson's discussion Choosing color in the group Needlepainting!"Well this problem of picking the right colors to blend together in a work is all in your head. Literally. Back in the 19th century Michel Chevrveul, a chemist, worked on this problem for tapestry weavers who needed a blacker black in some…"

Louise Desmarais said… Hi Anna Maria,
I am back from a trip to Vietnam. I bought some embroidery painting over there. They are wonderful artwork. I went to see your website and you are very good at what you do. Painting portraits must the hardest thing to do.

faith said… Thankyou so much Im really excited to have a go with this but first will start small just like you said. I did something simular on butterflies so maybe that was a little start. How many hours do you stitch a day and do you have to have a break then go back to it?
thanks

Im in awe of your work, did you stitch cotton material backed with interfacing or some sort of stabiliser? I remember going to a crystal fayre a few years ago in Barnsley. yorkshire and there were some little work units at the back.
There were some ladies there doing free hand embroidery just doing random cross stitches, just like painting of material really but with coloured threads. What computer did you use and what sort of programme to enlarge into the photo, Did you use a wireless laptop to zoom in. Sorry for all the questions but you are inspiring me with your magic and I fancy having a go at this method.
Maybe the postcard project in this type of stitching could be the beginningx
