Koisan Rock Art

I digitized these embroidery designs a few years back and started stitching them on a whole cloth but never finished it.  That was fortunate as I learned to quilt a few years later and was able to turn it into a small quilt which will do for a birthday present later this year.

Instead of using sasching, I stitched a border between the figures and filled the inside with free motion stitching as shown below on the close-up of the backside.

Finally finished working overtime!

After working overtime the last 2 weeks as well as coming down with the flu last week and a severe migraine over the weekend, I'm finally back doing what I love most  - embroidering and quilting.  Yeah!

I uploaded all the Bushmen Rock Art Designs (a total of 44 designs in different sizes).  The animal set contains 26 designs and looks like this:


You can buy them as a set for $25 or as singles at $3 each and build your own set mixing and matching with the people set.

The people set contains 19 designs with the same pricing structure.

Bushmen Rock Art Designs

Have been working overtime the last week, so no embroidery or quilting done.  Will however be posting these designs at Craftsy in a week's time.

Koisan Designs

I designed these portrait studies of the Koisan people of the Kalahari a few years ago using photo stitching software. 

I find their culture very interesting.  It is unfortunately under threat of extinction as the Westerners think they are doing them a favour by putting clothes on their bodies and roofs over their heads. 

These portraits capture the very essence of the Koi San.

I was finally able to finish this design and upload it to my store.  I actually embroidered it twice as I entered the first one in the  Sew ...
