So a long time ago, I fell in love with an certain Etsy shop, Oh My Cavalier!. Then joy of all joys, I discovered that she also had a website! (Actually she has a few different wonderful blogs to choose from) Although the images are no longer on there, she originally posted some wonderful embroidery work she had done of a ship being attacked by a giant squid and some others of whales. Needless to say, I fell in love with them seeing as I have a strange fascination with giant creatures. :) The other day I was in a thrift store and I found a piece of work by an anonymous artist and it is all embroidered and absolutely beautiful. Now while it is just a ship, I have fallen in love with the technique and with the different blues and greens and white froth around the base of the ship. I absolutely cannot wait to re-frame this and find a special place for it! (Perhaps even figure out a way to embroider in a seamonster!?) The possibilities seem endless.
