Embroidery for Swap
I'm so frustrated with my camera...I can never get decent pictures when they have a lot of white. Alas, here is an embroidery that I sent off last weekend for this swap . I've never participated in any sort of online anything before, so this is all new territory. I started to click on the links of other people who have sent something away and I was so totally impressed by every blog...gulp. I hope they like my little patch. The photo also looks crooked, but actually it is completely square - I just don't have the time to doctor it up in photoshop.
We're having a bit of a rough week here in Sallyland, but I still want to finish an illo for Friday...it's coming along, just not as well as I had hoped. Anyways, I'll try to post it tomorrow night.
One quick note: I just wanted to thank you all for your lovely comments on my travel posts. I had forgot to mention that I survived the flights pretty well - much better than expected. We all had our own personal tvs which was a huge help, especially on the way home when dealing with overwhelming impatience to get to my own bed. But thank-you for your concerned emails and comments! You guys are the best :)

This embroidery is beautiful, hope to see more in the future. Looking forward to seeing what the swap has in store for you, they are so much fun! Have a good day.
Neat embroidery. I think colour threads on white cloth is very difficult to shoot well. (Something with the digital camera's CCD. May be try the white-balance function if your camera has it.) One time I had a photo with a big man in a white shirt, he came out with a red line around his white shirt!
Hope Sallyland gets smoother soon.
The embroidery piece is so lovely in person- extremely.
