Two weeks ago I did a post about a photo I took and processed three ways (you can see it here). I really liked the third version, so I printed it onto this woven fabric (you can read about that here), and then I started to add stitch and beads. The colours are off in this first shot because of the light and time of night when I took it, but it shows the beginnings of the stitching and beading. I let the print lead me and just kept adding to it until it felt like it didn't need anything more. 
I used some DMC floss and some hand-dyed threads for both the embroidery stitches and the hand wrapped cords that I made. I decided to create some more dimensionality by attaching the cording in such a way that it lifted up off of the surface.
your work is so crazy amazing!
