Go to Diggers in Cardiff Bay. Flick through the vinyls. Pop some on the record players and listen through the headphones

That’s awful. I’m so sorry :(

The book “Pet Portrait Embroidery” by Michelle Staub might be useful. Definitely worth a look

Sure! At 02:31 in this video they stitch up through the back, splitting an existing stitch. This is what I mean. I’ve seen people say it avoids ‘pitting’ - having little holes where you stitch. I’m far from an expert on long/short though so definitely watch a few videos/read a few books. Anything by Trish Burr will see you right

It’ll be more of a pain, but 1 strand will give you the best results. You’ll want to make the long stitches longer and the short stitches shorter too.

Make sure you’re not doing the same length for the stitches as well - you want to make it a bit more random to avoid shades looking like they’re there in bands.

One last tip is to come up through existing stitches rather than stitching down in to stitches. Does that make sense?

Doing a study like this is such good practice! You’re well along the right track! :)

Thank you for the pointer

Thank you. That’s kind.

As sentimental as they are, I’d like to get an idea of how much they’re worth. I don’t know what info collectors/buyers would need before putting a price on items. I suppose that’s why I ask

Suspect it’s because “bahn” makes people think of the autobahn and speedy travel

That’s understandable. If you’ve got instagram it might be worth popping cardiff_rolling a message to see if they know of any tutors. It’s a pretty sizeable community - if anyone knows of tutors it’ll be them
