Anthropoid Elvis - Embroidered Art Show Piece

    I made this lovely embroidered piece for the art show at work - I have been dying to embroider this moneky of Z's for a long, long time now and it was the perfect chance to do it! it looks bang-on to the original sketch, too! Yay!

    I dyed the cotton with walnut ink and splashed it with the ink and some blue paint, it took a few days to stitch, and voila! :) I'm going to hang it at home somehwere...
