From Sketch to Embroidery - Orca
This is the Orca I sketched earlier this month. I drew the Orca from a picture of a live whale in the ocean. Of course, I didn't take the picture but it took a while to find one online that showed the whale from a full side view. The photo I used was taken by a professional driver taking pictures of Orcas in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. After I drew the whale in a simple form, I transferred it to an embroidery design. The test embroidery is shown below.
Growing up in California was in no way lacking on things to do. I remember seeing my first killer whale when I was 6 years old. My school took us to Sea World as a field Trip. The whole class got to see Shamu jump in the air and get us all wet as the huge animal splashed back into the giant pool. I bought a Shamu stuffed animal with my spending money my parents gave me for the day.

From Sketch to Embroidery - Sheep
This is a very quick and simple sketch of a sheep from memory. As you can see I had a few problems with the drawing.
As you can see I made a few changes to the design. I changed the shape of the head and removed two of the four legs. I used a scallop design I created two years ago and shrunk it down to use it as the fluffy look in the outline. After spending quite a few ours on the design I finally got something that looked like a sheep.
Bah Bah Black Sheep!!!
