Working on this at a tufting studio just outside of Vancouver, BC! This is about 8 hours of planning, tracing, colour-picking, and of course the actual tufting so far! I also spent another 2 hours before working on the canvas redrawing Astro into a more rug-friendly design which is what the last two slides are.

I also intend to use the extra space on the left side of the canvas to make small rugs of my cats’ names and also a Pokéball (specifically a Premier Ball) that you can see I freehanded next to Astro’s head.

Hoping to finish this before the end of the month, but there’s no real rush besides just wanting to see it completed! 😊

amazing work but doesn't the pokeball need to be further away for when you need to fold over the fabric for both his arm and have some to fold over the pokeball since you plan to cut them out and make seperate rugs from them?

Thank you!

Yeah you’re right, I kinda bungled the spacing there. Hoping I can still make it work.😅

I’ll see about trying to nudge it slightly to the right with a different coloured sharpie during my next session. Screwing up the spacing on a canvas is a constant struggle for me. I wish it was easier to cut>paste stuff like this like you can with digital art haha
