I’ve
been using photos for inspiration for embroidery portraits. This one is of my daughter when she was at playgroup. I enlarged the image, used tracing paper to draw the key elements that I want to stitch, transfered the image onto fabric and then played/stitched.
Using
a variety of thicknesses of thread leads to shading, re-creating pencil lines
and hanging the threads symbolizes the idea that the picture, the subject,
lives on.

There
are lots of artists doing this kind of work and spent my birthday money on a book by Rosie James Stitch Draw: Design and Technique for Figurative Stitching
