Trying a new artistic medium...

I got into embroidery something over a year ago and have done it off and on since then. I’ve recently gotten back into it, so one of the first pieces I did was something Joostery.





Looking back, there are some minor color choices I’d change. I tried to follow the colors of the cap I used as closely as possible, but all that brown, grey & black is a tad dull. Still, overall, I’m pretty happy with this. I’d definitely like to do more Jooster stitchery eventually (though in a cuter and less “realistic” style). :D

That's really well done, esp if you've only been stitching for like a year. I've been stitching for 13, and I can't get my stitches nearly as neat and controlled as that. Is the shading on the tie stitched on or drawn on? It's so hard to tell cause everything's so neat and...good. *is jealous*

Thank you! My memory is foggy, I'm not totally sure if it's actually one year or two...1 1/2 we'll say. The tie is stitched on - seed stitch for the pale spots and brown crossed over that.
