February TIF Finished Finally!

The title of the post makes the Feb TIF seem to appear to have been a chore, but that's not the case. I was swamped with making 60 sketches and preparing for the Lambani embroidery workshop and I simply didn't get time to sit down and embroider.

The workshop got over on Wednesday and I got my chance to finish the pages for February.

Fascinating! This is so contemporary, yet rooted in deep tradition. Your lettering stitching is superb, too...

Hi Priya, Thank-you that's a compliment from an illustrator who takes an unusual approach herself.

Thanks Allison, if you see the contemporary and traditional co-exisitng together in this piece then I've done a good job - achieved what I set out to do.The lettering stitching is thanks to a book I bought at the beginning of the year,a favourite of mine.
