An elephant in Africa - sunset

This picture I stitched for my son in law - it's from the africa design of BFC, stitching out wonderful. I used Rayon thread, which is very shiny on orange cottonfabric. As eye of the elephant I used a tiny glasspearl. Fasten is the picture on a wooden frame as painters use (very unexpensive)Hope you like it

Beautiful - well done. Was the design stitch intensive and if so, could you tell me what Stabilizer you used please?

Hi,
yes it is very bright as you see. The rayon thread is very shiny. Also the cotton fabric. For pirctures with lightweightfabric I use always heavy iron backing, otherwise the fabric will shrink. At the backside of the frame ich fasten with metal tacker. Easy, fast and safe. i changed some colours from the original to brighter ones.
Try it! It's frebee at BFC.
