Yup, as the title says.

I had a grand plan of making my family embroidered pictures/portraits of nice photos for Christmas. I was pretty surprised that this first one didn't take me all that long - just an afternoon (about 4-5 hours). :O

So first up is my sister! The downside is that she's not really that keen on photos of her, but I thought this was super pretty so I did it. Either way, you can't go all that wrong with handmade gifts since it's the thought that counts right? wink

The next ones are: My mom and her sister, and my grandma and Daisy (her cute little dog). =D

that's an interesting idea. you'll have to let us know how everyone likes it. you've put a lot of hard work into it! I am not that dedicated. how did you make it so accurate? did you trace a picture or eyeball it?

Evil is Everywhere- Good doesn't have a prayer

I love that! It's so beautiful and as dkpuppets said, accurate!

Good is Commendable- Evil is Dependable.

Wonderful work, your stitches are very even.

What did you use to tint the fabric for the shadows?
