House portrait started

 I’m making a portrait of my sister’s house for her birthday later this month. I got an image of her house from Google Maps. I added her cat and dog. They are not longer alive, but I felt like I needed to add something to the portrait. 

So far I’ve traced out the image on one of our dad’s drafting vellums and I’ve started to color it in. I’ve also played with how to address the bricks. Siding is so much easier.

This is what I have so far as well as a photo of her house.

I’ve done 2 other house portraits on our dad’s drafting vellums. One for our daughter and one for my other sisters.

Once I finish coloring it in I will machine stitch on a pellon stabilizer and do some hand stitching.

Thanks for reading..
