Estian needlework

I've been enthralled with applique and needlework lately. I love all of the tiny details and intricacy of it. Even when I paint, I tend to detail things. I've never been able to do light sweeping strokes with a brush. There is something about detailing that completely pulls you into your work, like nothing around you exists!
Here are some of my favorite Etsy examples. Stunning work!

 There are some very talented people out there! Hope you enjoyed the beautiful work by just a few of them.
