How I created this.   First I lay down the colours with inks and watercolours, then I stitched in the lines using my sewing machine as if I was drawing with it.  The rest I have done by hand and includes stitching, beading and small sequins.  I will upload the finished version soon. I only know about 4 embroidery stitches, my favourite being chain stitch.
