Embroidered Lyrics


Here we are; the first embroidery I have done since I was around eight years old, and the first I have completed, well... ever.

The lyric is from the song Thick As Thieves by Kasabian. I'm not sure why but the words have stayed with me. When deciding how to illustrate my lettering I had to give it a little thought, as I was adamant that it mustn't look too feminine! In the end I decided to have a go at some Sailor Jerry style traditional tattoo art. 




This was such a therapeutic and addictive project! I'll definitely be delving into my commonplace book and starting another embroidery quotation very soon.
