I wanted to get my animal portraits printed on fabric so I could have a go at adding some embellishment in stitch over the top and adding texture to the fur, I thought this could also be done with felting fluff which could work quite nicely.
My problem with the portraits were the rough endings and the points that cut off due to the size on the page, I used some foliage to cover this up for the sake of it looking like a proper placement design. I think I could do this better with more thought out motifs here but this is something I can work on as I create more foliage motifs. For now, I wanted to get these printed to work on, as I think this will be a nice effect and start the early experiments in adding stitch to my final designs and this is a good practice. I thought too if I kept putting this job off it might be something that I just never got done, taking into account the printing time and dispatching time as well.
