Sew Much Sewing

Just finished a huge embroidery that I have been working on nonstop this spring break (and before that too!) It was pretty fun to do, but I got so stressed with picking what colors I should use. I worry that I color vomited all over the muslin. Oops.
I scanned in the front (obviously) and also the back because I thought it looked like beautiful, tamed chaos. I'll share the finished product soon :)

Pretty Girls and Pretty Flowers


One of my dear friends, Hayley, asked me to draw her a little something that may or may not get inked on her body! (But for now, it's a perfect piece to hang on a wall! Tattoos are a big commitment, guys.) She had a couple images she liked but wanted to make some changes and wanted me to draw it up. Pretty cool. Especially since I love drawing pretty things like flowers and girls.

I kept sending Hayley a million messages with slight changes because I was being really particular about how this turned out. Is the eye too big? Do you like the eye crease? Too pervy looking? Too many flowers? Are these flowers ugly? Does her cheek circle look funny? I wanted whatever I drew to be perfect cause Hayley deserves the best. We couldn't decide if we liked the girl with her eyes opened or closed. She looks pretty both ways, but having them closed makes more sense since we realized she didn't know who the girl was and it wasn't supposed to be a tribute or anything of the sort!

Anyways, drawing something from someone's imagination is always fun, especially when you and that person think so much alike! Hayley and I have really similar taste so this was super easy and I really love how it turned out! ♥
