Spider Watercolour and Embroidery by mimilove

Original one of a kind, hand painted, watercolour painting with hand embroidery on stretched canvas.

A free loose style painting of a big leggy spider!

I've kept the painting free style to keep the colours fresh and bright, sketchy pencil marks are also visible. Colours are shades of bright yellows and turquoisey greens with flashes of violets and reds.

Spider is hanging off his web which is a mass of crissy crossy embroidery silks in various lilac/lavender shades.

In addition to the Creepy Crawly chorus from Boris the Spider by The Who I've also hand stitched the lines:"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly, 'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy" From Mary Howitt's The Spider and the FlyThe "parlour" is all prettified with a positive confetti of wee stitches in pinks, greens, reds and blue, pretty silky/glittery daisies and a few french knot buggy bits skittering about.

But wait! Is it a bird?! Is it a plane?! ..Nope, it's Spiderman Spiderman doing what ever spider can...in this case, just hanging around, doin his thing in amongst the floweryness!

Chicken - A Watercolour and Embroidery on canvas by mimilove

Whilst there's no actual rabbits, "She's no Spring chicken!"..is something I hear quite often. Henny is nestled amongst a bushy undergrowth of hand embroidered greenery using a variety of silks and cottons in various shades of greens and yellows and a hint of contrasting lilac. A ribbon of embroidery and glittery glass beads in a rainbow of colours runs through the middle of the picture to give added texture

Its an original one of a kind, hand painted, watercolour painting with hand embroidery on stretched canvas. I've kept the painting free style to keep the colours fresh and bright, sketchy pencil marks are also visible. Colours are shades of ochres, oranges and lavender with pinky red detailing.
