the holiday sweater...

This was a first for me. I've made an illustration for Boston Globe using fabric, embroidery floss and a needle. Mr. Mac and Mr. Adobe (and his commander 'Z')  had no part in it. It was fun:)
I only regret that the actual embroidery didn't get to Boston in time to get professionally photographed. Next time I'll count in all the extra time one needs to allow for 'hand work' and customs.

HI helen,

This looks much better than what I sent you, i think its hard to get vibrant colors in newspaper. I knew when I saw it yesterday that it was yours before I opened the paper up!
