LOOK WHAT I DID!
Fo realz.
My first attempt at embroidery and I think it turned out pretty darn well, if I don't say so myself.
Step back a couple of posts to see the lovely Aofie in the furr. She's a darling little lass, my only beef with Beefy is that I genuinely believe that my girlfriend loves her more than she loves me. But, y'know, she loves to kneed my clothes when left of the floor or the bed and that makes me all gooey inside, so I can make my peace with it all.
How did I do it?
Well, I took a photo of her fluffy little face, pumped it into PhotoShop and used the cutout filter to break the colours down into 8 steps - I'm sure there are better ways to do this but it worked for me.
I then split each colour into separate layers, traced the outline of her face onto linen then shaded the darkest colour, embroidered it, shaded the next colour, embroidered it, and continued until they were all done.
Then I freehand stitched her lovely little name.
Tjana lost her proverbial shiznit. Which was nice.
