I lost my mum many many years ago. One time I decided to stitch her portrait and what a gift that experience was- all the little memories I uncovered while I embroidered this piece were so precious to me

French martini’s represent so many good times with my girl gang. One of the girl gangs husbands happens to be an expert at shaking a cocktail and this is a thread painting embroidery of his hand offering us another treasured martini.
#embroidery #craftsky #threadpainting
An oval canvas pictures an embroidered arm and hand holding a French martini, rendered using the thread painting technique. The canvas is surrounded by embroidery floss in all shades of blue, orange and yellow.
