So, I am working, but my graphic design business is coming into the busy season so I have less free time. But you gotta work on what pays the bills first!

I am fully in love with this piece and am loving every minute that I get to work on her. This one is in an 18inch x 24inch frame.

I did finish the linework on the 24x36 that I shared, but I still need to add color. That one is moving slowly.

So this is a drawing that I did recently that I intend to embroider, but I was so excited to get it moving forward that I created it as a digital piece.

TITLE: WHITE RABBIT

My new embroidery work is intensive and takes a LOT of time to complete and I would have to pay $$$$ to get it scanned to offer prints, being that I am not a professional photographer, so my own photos would NOT be acceptable for prints.

With that said, does anyone have any interest in seeing/purchasing my drawings in digital form? In my mind, this piece is gorgeous, but I know people think less of digital work. Just wondering your thoughs?

Thank you! Brandi

PS - STILL WORKING ON THE 24X36 EMBROIDERY - WILL DO A STORY UPDATE SOON!

So, yes, I am still working, but I have been drawing a LOT in an effort to create some signature pieces that feature heavier compositions. This is about 1/3 of the composition here. The piece has a total of 5 figures and many flowers.

Also, I am seriously considering adding fabric to my backgrounds, so this piece may get finished and then tossed if it doesnt work out, but I have wanted to try and I need to see how it will look larger, so here goes. Wish me luck on that part.

Size on this on is 18.5 x 28.5 inches in a 24x36 frame. With that said, I will do my best to post, but these will be long term projects is my guess.

I hope you are all doing well. xoxo - Brandi

Tips to shooting when you image is under glass 1. take out the glass (hee hee) BUT if you didn't THEN shoot at an angle. Not the perfect shot, but it works.

Yes, she is being naughty, BUT she is meant to be giving the finger to her inner critic, which in my case is the meanest person in the world.

Not quite half way, but moving right along. I expect two more days? Maybe three? There is no moving fast when it comes to embroidery. It is literally one stitch at a time, hee hee!

This is piece is 9.5 x 12.5 image area on a 16 x 20 frame. It will eventually have a matt and frame, we will see how that goes as well.
