Embroidery - not just for old ladies

Friday, June 26, 2009

I'm still working on my new piece called Nasar, and I will be working on it for quite awhile. After I screenprinted my images on the surface, I knew it needed another layer of dimension so I decided to embroider it. That's 8 feet of needle work! Needless to say, after the first few hours my fingertips looked like hamburger, so now I'm taping them up with duct tape. How do little old ladies do this without so much as a chipped nail?
