For my Design Fundamentals class, we were instructed to create a map any way we want. I decided to experiment with embroidering! After much deliberation, I chose to embroider Ireland on a pillow because I'm dreaming of going there one day. Heh…get it? Get it? I have to thank my sista Liv for that one. The real reason I procrastinated so much was because all week I was asking myself, "Should I seriously do this? Is this too corny? Will my professor laugh or tell me I suck?" Fortunately, I think it turned out pretty darn well #yayme
I think I'm gonna go back and add another layer of light blue around the border and maybe fill in a few more of the counties. Even though my professor said he kinda liked the "unfinished look" of it. He then followed up with that by saying, "or is it actually unfinished...?" Heh…heh…uh no of course not!! Its totally finished just how I planned it…not.
I would like to thank the Pinterest gods and all the lovely middle aged women who post YouTube tutorials on hand embroidery. Y'all da real MVPs. Without you I would be nothing.
