birdsofshoreI finally finished this really bad copy homage to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dustmouth's beautiful beautiful art. I am pleased with some parts and not so pleased with others.
Here it is:
with a close up:
Even the photos are not great, sorry, but you get the idea. I was really unsure about the shading (lighter colour). I tried 3 different shades of blue and it still didn't look quite right, but that will teach me to begin with navy thread instead of black (I felt inspired to get started and could not wait to procure black thread!).
I am still frustrated about not being able to get the eyes right, and some parts were unpicked so many times I am amazed the fabric is still there. :-/ Your pencil strokes are so light and precise in some places,dustmouth! I have even more awe and love for you than I did when I started.
My favourite parts are the outline, which I think worked really well, especially Remus' hair, and I do quite like the solid bit on Sirius' collar. I half wish I'd tried Sirius's hair all neat and solid like that, I think, but I was trying to get some of the sketchy, quirky quality into the stitches, rather than making it all straight and uniform. I don't know. I hope you like it,dustmouth! You have made all of us H/D shippers so happy, that it was lovely to make this little bit of R/S fanart for you. I think it is actually fanart of fanart, heh. I apologise that it took so long, and that it looks like it was done (as it indeed was), in dim light by a dyspraxic fangirl with a baby asleep on her lap :D But I am going to parcel it up and send if off to you as soon as I find some sort of frame thingy.
People on my flist, if you don't knowdustmouth, (and I sort of suspect you may have seen some of her work somewhere lately *whistles*), she does the most delicious, original, emotional drawings and is basically a fandom treasure. ♥ ♥ If you go to look at her art, I think you will adore it.
