Unit X - The Brainless Deer

Figure 1: Sample
Following up my sampling I have first chosen a lightweight fabric to work with. However, it causes too much tension on the stitching during the process.  This had an impact on ho professional the final piece would look. I then solved the problem with cutting around the figures and placed on an heavier weight fabric, which I am pleased with for it creates the winter effect. 

Figure 2: Drawing
I was finding it difficult to draw and capture the front portrait of Lion.
For the final scene of my story, I want the Lion to eat the Deer, but in figure 1, a clam stillness. For it was not sad about the deer. For what is chaos for the deer, is nature for the Lion.
I plan on to have the deer body below the Lion.   I will experiment with different angles of the body and how these can show emotion as much as facial expressions can.  

Figure 3: Sampling. 

I have started to map out my figures through hand-stitch. During the process, I have developed a hand stitch pattern within my design. 
Due to holiday, I have no access to machines, I have decide to hand embroidery. It helps me to decide and see which technique is appropriated for which area.
I plan on to make a start on samples.  I enjoyed hand stitch, it mirrors painting an image and it allows a personal connection and more control over the final look.
