I was editing a couple of pictures this morning, and found one of these pieces. This little photo find inspired me, so I did some digging and managed to come up with a few more of the photographs. It's not the fancy write-up I initially planned, but I had so much fun making these (and then giving them to their intended recipients) that I'm happy to have a small record of it. Such as it is, I present to you Needlefest '09 (primarily based on inside jokes, but I hope still fun to look at):
This portrait of Archy was made for Leslie, and is a two-part effort. Her boyfriend used an iPhone app to draw a Lennon-esque sketch of Archy, which she loved. I thought the simple lines had possibilities for embroidery, so I made a transfer and stitched it onto a vintage handkerchief.
Art by Chris & fiber interpretation by me.

This piece is also done on a vintage handkerchief, and was made for Skunkboy Creatures' craft swap a few months back.

Kateri! A hidden talent! These are so cute, lovely, amazing, etc.! The little twitter birdy is too cute. :) And I absolutely adore the bloom embroidery - absolutely beautiful. :)
