It's pretty self explanatory I think...It has a slightly tribal feeling to it which I didn't plan, but is still fitting for the verse.

Unveiling Numbers 3:16
And here is the finished piece!

For the first time I tried threading my machine with 2 threads. So they both go through the tension system and through 1 needle. It just gives a little more definition to the shapes. Surprisingly no broken threads or needle! :)

Why I always take a photo before printing......Unveiling of Numbers, but not quite.
Numbers 3:16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
Unveiling of Numbers 3:16. But not quite... I am always scared to start the part where I have to do letter printing on fabric. And for a reason....This is where I was up to an hour before dinner. And then I was so keen to see the finished one that I started printing straight away with the intention to be finished before dinner.
And then this is what happens:(((
So I am back to the background. I already have taken off the counting embroidery part and have to redo the background which is quite a lot of work. I made stencils of 'people shapes' and used inktense paint blocks + pencils + oil paint sticks + gold paint to give them some colour. Then I rubbed some oil sticks over number stencils and stitched with a double thread all around the people.
It was a fun process and I am quite happy to redo it. At least I will change the letter format and positioning of the verse. The upside of making mistakes is maybe that it will only get better :)
