Moon in progress - first stitches

UPDATE!

Apparently there was some kind of glitch in the way Etsy pulled the entries for the initial selection round. A new batch of semi-finalists has been announced and I'm in it! You can VOTE NOW for my piece. Read more on my blog. Spread the word and thank you SO much! :)

 

This is my entry for the NASA/Etsy Space Craft Contest. It's a high texture hand embroidery of the moon. I didn't make it to the voting round, but you can read more about that and get some great space and embroidery resources over on my blog. You can read more about the project on its Etsy listing page. :)
