Embroidery

Continuing to experiment with embroidery, I made two depicting popular parables related to desire. Though I find it satisfying to finish an embroidery, I find that making them is very time consuming, and I’m currently condsidering alternative options (like applique) to save me some time. I’d like to continue working in embroidery, but having options (like applique) that take less time to create would mean that I can produce more work, and much more frequently.
