I’ve been working the last few days on this little piece (it’s less than 7″ wide) featuring my paternal grandparents. There are some parts that I am really happy with — my grandfathers’ hair and hand — and other parts that I wish were better. I don’t normally do things twice, but I am thinking I might be more satisfied if I go a bit bigger.
Eventually, I can see myself collecting all my little family-based pieces into something bigger. Still not sure what exactly, but something.

This is fantastic! I love the idea of making something from all your family things. It would be pretty amazing to embroider photos and create a quilt from it!
I’ve had a couple of people mention a quilt as a possibility. It’s something that I wouldn’t have thought of at first, actually.
I like your portraits! I think they would look cool in vintage-looking oval/round black picture frames as a cluster on the wall. Like old photos, but with embroidery!
I’ve got some IKEA frames that are white, but with lots of scrolly bits. and also plastic. might test out some paint on those….
