Embroidered Portraits on Tulle

Begin by getting to know Elo a bit better as she shares her journey into the world of textile art. She also shows you some of her work and artistic influences to get you inspired to embroider on tulle.

Next, discover what materials you need to complete your project and what qualities you should look for while choosing a photograph. Once you've selected a good photo, isolate color groups in your image and extract them to create a color palette.

Now it's time to grab your needles and start embroidering! Elo walks you through the portrait creation process stitch by stitch. Divide the face and hair into sections to simplify your work and keep it organized. Learn a basic stitch for filling in shapes and how to use it with color combinations to create gradients.

To finish up, go back over the fine details that give your portrait depth and definition while comparing it with the original. Elo rounds out the course by showing you how to back your embroidery hoop once you've completed your piece.
