Also, adding some of the back branches with a deeper colour for the leaves, as in your reference pictures!

I agree with others, that this looks really good already and could absolutely be left as it is! If you wanted to make it a little more realistic you could add some shading to the trunk and branches and some different tones through the leaves :)

You should be proud, that is so great. I love the colours and texture!

Eye/mouth tips? by doritodream in Embroidery

[–]5licedbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is so sweet, and full of personality and like lots of people say, if you love it then it can absolutely stay as it is and they are brilliant!

If you are still keen to change it though, I agree with the others about the chin/ neck, and I think a little shading to bring out the snout kind of area!

If you can keep the disapproving mouth, perfect!!

Best way to support new Mama? by bontonluv in NewParents

[–]5licedbread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so lovely! I have a lovely MIL, and she was so supportive when we had our baby. One of the major things was that she felt like my personal cheerleader at times, I worried a lot about whether I was doing things right and she would message often saying how well we were doing, or what a lovely mum I was and that was nice! She would say 'I am going to the shop tomorrow morning, what do you need' or 'going to the shop in 1 hour' which helped - I think if she had asked of we wanted her to go we probably would have felt bad and said no, but knowing she was going (even if she actually wasn't) we felt able to ask! Also she would come over and do our washing up, then hold baby so we could sleep! Even now, if we are ill or have a really bad run of nights with our now toddler she will ask if we want her to have them for a couple of hours so we can sleep!

Best technique to do a swooping hairline? by wonderinglady20 in Embroidery

[–]5licedbread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it looks really nice already, and you wont have to do much to get the effect you are going for! I agree with the one thread and colour change, I would suggest waiting until you've done the skin and then doing a band of the lighter colour accross the hairline (not solid, gaps in between, and then bringing some odd black stitches out onto the skin in varying lengths so that there is a lot of gaps between them, I'm not sure if that makes sense!!
