A square linen background with a hand embroidered portrait of a white female face with brown outline of hair which has a big thread tangle on the upper left hand side. The head is turned to the right, only the section from the eyebrows across to the cheekbones and down to the mouth is hand embroidered in detail. In the lower right, next to the mouth is a huge thread tangle.
Here is the other winning portrait.

A square artwork. The background is a patchwork of plain black fabric and white fabric which has red, yellow and blue paint and some black machine stitching. On top is a hand embroidered white female face wearing black glasses with brown eyes, the head turned two thirds to the right. The left eye is hidden by a large tangle of multi coloured threads. The rest of the head is sketchy and incomplete with the eye and mouth stitched in detail.
Thought I'd share a better view of my winning portraits.

A throwback to 2020
I was lurking down at the harbour recently in the hope to see any of the local Kingfishers. It was a fail. They will be heading off soon, spring is nearly here!

Finito.
Liking the extra details.

Finally finished the piece! ✨️✨️
Decided to add the #triforce as a chest piece last minute~
Does it look like a #twilightprincess sweatshirt?~
#threadpainting #tloz #handmade #embeoidery #craftsky
Finally workingthis again 🎉
It is proceeding well, especially after @slavetothestitch.bsky.social 's suggestion to use a Beechwood hoop! So much easier to work with! 😍
New question is, do you guys embroider details before or after the bg colour?

Hand stitching on organza and metallic fabric
quite extraordinary, and we should add, dear Susan, that all of @artbyemilytull.bsky.social's works are stunning (more than stunning!). For this reason I've dedcated the whole week to her #threadpainting and I promis (PROMISE!!!) that more Emily-Tusk-weeks will follow.
