As promised, here's the canvas now with some of the machine embroidery added. Some colours are appearing to be more 'brilliant' and the piece overall is looking more textural (not so apparent in this photo).
Here's the same section as shown last Friday:
And now, a new section side by side for side-by-side comparison purposes. The photo to left is the original with no machine embroidery added - just the plain tapestry.
You can see immediately that shapes and colours are slightly more 'enhanced' in the photo right together with a few additonal ones from the machine stitches.
