A picture of Loch Ness inspired “Lakeside” even though the final piece took on a Lakeland scene. The magnificent colours were what drew me to the picture.
As I was creating a piece of canvas work I started by “pixelating” the picture on my computer, as a basis for the background (as seen below). This was printed onto a piece of canvas to which I applied a cross corner stitch to represent the pixels.
Once this was complete, I felt that the picture was very regimented so I decided to break up the foreground by applying free embroidery stitches.
Here is some detail:

Hi Mary,
Can't express in words how impressed i'm with your embroidery. It's exquisite. Now tell me what is TAST and how can i join?
Each of your embroidery is a piece of art by itself. These seem to have been done with pearl cotton thread, am i right ? Happy crafting, Rufaro
