Should be getting a mind-blowing pic from Destroyer in a week or so! :twisted:
Can't wait RP :-) \O

An embroidered version of the leopard

@Mods - I would like to donate embroidery work (not this leopard, already sold) for auction on the forum - all proceeds towards Timbi. Can we do this?

Is this real embroidery work and what are the dimensions?
I take a photo and transfer it to material and then stitch it by hand to give it a 3D effect. It is all stitched with cotton and ribbons.

The leopard is off to Canada so I did not frame it but the fish eagle above is framed and once completed the dimensions can vary but the fish eagle is

53cm X 66cm
