I stitched up a new embroidery pattern, mermaids! I've always loved mermaids, it's kind of surprising I've waited til now to embroider them. I actually drew these girls years ago, dug them out recently and turned them into a new pattern. You can get the PDF pattern in my shop and stitch them up yourself! I used crayon tinting (you can find my tutorial on that right here) and DMC color gradient floss for this one. It's fun to work with, it changes colors as you stitch! I had a hard time choosing what colors to use, I'd love to see this done in aqua blues and greens! I like these pinky orange colors too though. :)
Enjoy!

It's a very beautiful draw :), I also love mermaids too ;), will you show us the result when you embroider them? :p

ReplyDeleteI found your blog via 'feeling stitchy' - this is such a beautiful pattern! It was my childhood ambition to become a mermaid, so I might just have to make this as a stitched substitute!

ReplyDeleteSo I finally had a moment to sit down and try look for the pattern on your etsy site but I'm not seeing it? I hope this is some computer glitch and it's still available because I'd love to make this my weekend project!
ReplyDeleteJust re-listed it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSadness -- I only just discovered this lovely pattern, and I don't see it listed on your Etsy.... Is there any chance you'll be re-listing anytime soon?
