A floral Elephant

Line drawings are interesting. If you want to upgrade your artistic skill, you will find a ton of free lessons online to learn line drawing.

But, have you ever thought about taking a step further by tracing those drawings onto fabric?

I found it very fascinating. 

But, I am not stopping by just tracing the drawing. I did an outline embroidery on the traced image. 

Who is saying I have to stop right there? 

Adding colour is a great way to bring more interest, right? Imagine, having flowers and leaves added to the line drawing? With a bit of embroidery knowledge, you can bring colours and textures. 

Here, I used hand embroidery techniques. 

The embroidery floss I used is from Amazon. 

Have a look at my elephant line drawing and added embroidery!

Now the problem is figuring out what to do with this pretty creation. Attach it to a T-shirt? Make a greeting card?

So, what would you do if you had a unique creation like this in your hands?
