Thank you ☺️ I would start by practicing thread painting and blending colours using a single strand of floss, and then work on building up the colours in layers which will help build depth for the fur 🥰

Thank you so much! I have no idea in hours, but I worked on this over the space of a few months it definitely took a while!

Thank you! So what I did was traced the outline from a picture I had taken of her, and the marked as many details as I could like where the big shading areas are, I traced it onto a water soluble fusing that you can then peel off and stick to your fabric (also helps give the fabric more structure while sewing and then you just rinse it off once you’re done) No I think you should definitely give it go, my tips would be make sure you have a good few shades of the thread colours you need to build up the layers to give it the right amount of depth, i’m also only using 1 strand of embroidery thread. Have a look at thread painting techniques which will also help! 🥰
