I have shown this picture before, but darn it, I showed you Mom’s embroidery last week! This is some of the detail from my Carl Larsson embroidery. I took my favorite painting, traced it, blew it up on a copy machine, traced it onto fabric and then sat for a year with embroidery floss and a stitch encyclopedia and recreated it. I absolutely adore this picture. And, besides, my new camera does a great job, capturing details….

    I’m sure I said this last time I saw your Carl Larson embroidery on your blog — but it’s gorgeous! I love how you did her hair.

    Oh, Deb, that is exquisite! I have always admired the quite and gentle aspects of Carl Larsson’s art. Wouldn’t you love to visit his home? Your endeavors have been very worthwhile, and you have created such a personal heirloom for your family to cherish.

    I love the fact that you sat with the stitch dictionary…. and admitted it. It’s the sort of thing I would do and be afraid to admit.
    : )

    LOVE the hair. Great detail.

    Ooops I’m way too late … but I love this! A hard work of labour and passion. You should do more embroidery … you’re so good at it … well, but again, you’re good at knitting and many other things too. Too many things to do, too little time!
