The page for January came from Debbi's calendar which is by Australian Aboriginal artist Shane Pickett.
This was a wonderful picture to interpret on the embellisher and I am pleased with how it has turned out.
I used a dark brown felt as the base and layered wool and silk fibers onto it but I worked from the reverse side to achieve the subtleness that I was after.
The two rows of stitching are worked in running stitch by hand.
If you would like to see some of the other interpretations go to the Calendar Girls blog here
Here is the original picture that Debbi posted.
What a great choice Debbi.

Great card Doreen, It will be interesting to see what you all make this year from the calender photos.
A very good interpretation Doreen. Looks wonderful.
wow - this is wonderful - the picture is just right for the embellisher! and set of by just the right amount of stitching.
Beautiful photo and beautiful interpretation. The colors are rich and warm, and I love it.
Very nice! Do you get to keep this or is it passed on to someone else in the group? Do you do one for each member of the group? Just curious!!
