Portrait Embroidery. A Self-Tutor for 'Drawing' Dogs with an Embroidery Needle - Chihuahua

Can you draw with pencils, paints or markers? Probably, yes. But can you 'draw' with a needle? If not, a graduate of the English Royal School of Embroidery, Mihoyo Yone, will easily teach you!
Dogs have been revered in the Land of the Rising Sun since ancient times. They are rightly called man's best friends. Though not directly, dogs can convey their thoughts, feelings, and needs through their expressions and behavior while communicating with their owner. Four-legged pets have been dedicated literary works, erected monuments to, and depicted in paintings, including embroidered ones!
The famous Japanese master Mihoyo Yone based her works on an ancient technique of silk shading and decided to intertwine it with elements of 3D embroidery. The puppies and dogs born onto Mihoyo's canvas turn out to be so realistic that they seem ready to jump into your arms.
