A friend is a very talented artist who revisions classic superheroes. He has several prints and is gaining some followers in the geek community. I want to take one of his prints and embroider it as a gift.lilahcellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09241703435176364284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892528396591190831.post-64102870888815675262013-05-03T10:54:33.371-05:002013-05-03T10:54:33.371-05:00I am about to start embroidering a large peacock w...I am about to start embroidering a large peacock with flowers.

At one point in time, Oaxaca had great wealth from importing cochineal to Europe. It is still used today for dyeing all sorts of fibers & textiles. Incorporating these red threads & fabrics, I would love to make a sampler of Zapotec designs found everywhere in Oaxaca.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163411913577641381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892528396591190831.post-68026797715774382112013-05-02T13:02:42.620-05:002013-05-02T13:02:42.620-05:00I would love to win either choice.
