For Dustmouth - AT LONG LAST - Remus / Sirius embroidery

I finally finished this really bad copy homage to [livejournal.com profile] dustmouth's beautiful beautiful art. I am pleased with some parts and not so pleased with others.

Here it is:

People on my flist, if you don't know [livejournal.com profile] dustmouth, (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.

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y D U S T M O U T H !

Dear [livejournal.com profile] dustmouth,

I am sure you have long ago fallen over, and i hope you are now sleeping soundly, having had a joyful day, but it is still your birthday HERE, so I don't completely fail. It's a semi-fail. I did, however, fail to finish your present (and fail by about a billionty at getting it to you). So you don't get inappropriately excited, here is the WIP, and I hope you like the idea, at least. I would certainly have finished the outline today, but I ran out of navy thread (and I was only using navy thread because I'd run out of black... you see how well-thought this whole project was). I love to sew, but I can't remember the last time I did. There are always babies around. My children saw me sewing and said "What are you DOING?"

Anyway, this is to say a small THANK YOU for all the lovely arts you give us. ♥ I have no idea why I thought you would like an ineptly sewn copy of your own work, but there you have it. :D I will send it to you when it's done and you can use it to clean up spills with, or something ;-)

Remus and Sirius

Sirius

Sirius' eye was HARD. This was second attempt and it's still not right. If I unpick it and redo with a felt tip, please pretend not to notice :D
