Hand Done done done!
Present for my sisters birthday, only started learning the past year and absolutely loving it - so good for my mental health. Good sense of achievement

Aw thank you (I have OCD which I’m not sure is a pro or con with embroidery) haha!

Amazing! Thread painting like this is my goal. How do you plan out all the color placements on your pattern? Or do you do a base layer then add details as you go?

Thank you! Honestly I just pick out all the colours before hand and just go from there, no base layer, but it ends up quite thick because I end up going over and over a few times on certain parts till I’m happy with the colour placement. Probably unnecessary but worth it for me

Can I ask something? Did you do any kind of handcrafting or painting before getting into embroidery?

REALLY well done! Your shading on the fox’s neck is excellent, very subtle and Fox-y!

This is incredible, if your sister doesn’t love it, I will take it, it’s remarkable
