For the IYP swap I embroidered Monet’s Water Lilies for my partner @jemimah
I saw the painting on her pinterest and wanted to take on the challenge of trying to get a watercolor look in thread (I know his paintings are oil but they have a watercolor look to me).
I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
It’s a 5" hoop
Apparently he did a lot of water lilies. this is the one I used as inspiration.
Stunning. Beautiful thread painting.
It’s so beautiful, and I’m so lucky to have it! It looks wonderful in my studio 
Thank you again @geekgirl!!
That is lovely!
You were really able to capture the original impressionistic spirit with your stitches. I know jemimah was thrilled to receive it!
You absolutely captured Monet’s style in thread. Beautifully done.
Another stunner! You’ve harnessed the spirit of Monet.
This is gorgeous!
I love love love this one!!
The is gorgeous! The textures are amazing.
I wish I could give this 5,000,000 hearts. It is simply stunning. I love the blue fabric with the slight pattern you used for the background too. What a beautiful piece.
I love how you’re able to create such beautiful scenes using embroidery thread!
I cannot express how much I adore this. It is amazing. It is a masterpiece all on its own. You are so incredibly talented.
That’s beautiful!
