Thank you so much :) I do wonder what I'll do as my hands get a little stiffer and my eyesight gets worse :(

This is a small embroidery so just a couple of hours, it's a work in progress shot for a pattern that I was creating for my etsy shop

I didn't use bling with this one - many, many bullion knots for the fringe. I submitted the post (with about 8 photos) titled 'I spent hundreds of hours embroidering these animals but it looks like the Bored Panda people thought they could use the title from my previous post that included the rhino :D

This was a commission as a memorial for their cat. The client sent me lots of photos and really all I did was use them as a guide, I then drew the outline of the cat and then filled it in from there :) I will mark on the fabric, which way the fur grows, with a heat erasable fabric pen https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/starter-612161040d780.jpg

I look at the feather stitches, and I am simply in awe of the amount of time this must have taken!

Sorry I'm bugging you. How long did this one take to complete? Are some far more time consuming?

I Spent Hundreds Of Hours Embroidering Realistic Animals With Elements Of Bling (14 New Pics)

That is really interesting how you begin. I am amazed at how talented and creative this is! Thank you very much for sharing your talent on this site.

I love it but where's the bling accent?

I Spent Hundreds Of Hours Embroidering Realistic Animals With Elements Of Bling (14 New Pics)

Do you have to sketch this out too? Is this your artwork? Regardless, the needlework is beautiful and the colors are so many subtle shades. Lovely!

😍😍 So cute!

I used to embroider when my hands were much younger ;-) The bedazzling part is terrific, but the basic skills shown in the rest of the portraits themselves are just spectacular! I agree with MiddleEarth's comment, they look like photographs. Thank you for sharing your marvellous work.
