It all started with an online course with Susan Sorrell called "Doodling Designs". This class encourages you to enlarge on your doodling. I still haven't finished all the lessons because I got hung up on Lesson 2 which suggests students use magazine images to create doodle designs. One makes a collage of magazine images and then you trace the shapes that you like and then you embroider these shapes.
I started using the collages and then experimented with family photos, so between that and making more zentangles and framing them I havent finished all of Susan's lessons. I will get back to them after Christmas because there is still more embroidery that I want to try.
Here are the collages. I haven't done this before so I'm sure anyone could make much better
collages.
Your collage is very interesting. I will look forward to seeing how you transform these doodles into thread!
