Shaun Kardinal experiment

As part of my personal study, one of my researched artists was Shaun Kardinal. His work with the embroidery really intrigued me, leading me to make one of my own. One I had chosen the image that I wished to use I printed it out on A4 glossy photo paper to give it a nice finish. As all of the colours in the image are very plain tones I chose to use red thread.
