I made an embroidery of a Jayhawk a couple monts back. I decided after a while that I did want to paint it to add some extra interest.
I started with some scrap fabric in another embroidery hoop. I made a little sample and decided that I liked it watered it better. Just a little water with acrylic paint is all it took.
The finished project. I like it much better with the color. It's always fascinating to me that color bleeds even across mediums. The top of the Jayhawk's legs are now a little green. Adds character!
After using the acrylic paint I went off to the craft store to buy some watercolors for future projects. Hopefully I will be able control the saturation of the color better in the future, but I'm pretty happy with the end result.
