Illusions

What you DON'T stitch in these designs is just as important as what you do since these images are defined, to a large extent, by the empty spaces... of course, this means that they're very quick to stitch.

Baby's Best Friend

This little Teddy is sewn in gentle, muted tones using a variety of threads which effectively demonstrate the cuddly softness of stuffed toys (Rainbow Gallery's white Wisper, glossy Rayon and regular DMC floss). He makes a lovely pillow but will be just as happy in a frame.

Wedding Kiss

The bride's hair (and much of the rest of this picture) isn't actually stitched.

Her hairline is created by the skin-toned stitching of her face, her chignon is solely defined by beads and metallic threads. The groom's tuxedo and hair are also an illusion that's completed your minds-eye.

The Play's the Thing (Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare's face is defined only by his distinctive hairline, eyes, moustache and a few highlights.

His collar and your own imagination completes the picture.
