TMBG. Jacobean Embroidery. Day of the Dead Embroidery

 I really liked the part Jacobean, part Day of the Dead embroidery I just finished:

And I wanted to do another one, a larger one, and make it more musical. Skeletons playing instruments are always fun. But I didn't want to make a regular sombrero-wearing day of the dead skeleton band because there are already lots of those.

 So I'm making a They Might Be Giants, Jacobean, Day of the Dead, Embroidery project.  Here it is sketched out on canvas, blanket stitched all around, two times, and ready to go. 16" x 16"

I'm pleased with the composition, and I think it will make a nice textile piece though I haven't decided yet if I'll mount it on a stretcher or make it into a pillow.
Maybe when I'm finished I'll submit it to the TMBG are OK Tumblr!

Dia De Los Muertos Painting

Keeping to a lot of pinks, greens, golds, reds. Bright and un-muddied. Perhaps a bit lurid.
