Touch Me Thursday #6: Doing Lines

Day 196  Mind out of the gutter folks~merely a play on words~those days of being a party animal are far far far over just not my scene any more man too bourgeois ....I mean seriously I AM turning 40 in a few weeks gotta be an adult at some point *ahem not that I am an adult by any stretch most days*

So my texture project today was part of Monday's Mad Scientist Post and I will post more on the process later and why I went in a different direction than originally planned.

Any hey hey I was trying to figure out how to make the lines of my ravens three dimensional, I wanted the sharpie drawn lines to pop but not in a big way only to make someone take a second look to see if they could see a thick line or was it just a trick of the eye....and I think I succeeded here you can't really tell until you get close and it makes you want to touch a tentative finger to see if it is a drawing or not.

Cool beans eh? I am all about the cool these days because everything is 3D HD and I am sooo hip LOL LOL yea we're not gonna discuss my obsession with old lady polyester the wilder the better shirts on this post.

I used a dark blue slightly thicker than a 6 strand embroidery.  Not sure the type of thread it is a thrift store find with no wrapper.

Here are some shots up close right on the paper.

A simple backstitch was all I used on this project.

This one is finished and you can see the blue  color but only at certain angles....NICE.

Back tomorrow with some adventures from Taichi.  What will you create today?
