more practice required

This cavalier-type gentleman was yesterday’s free motion machine embroidery effort. Features on faces are difficult to control and I know that his ear should be longer! In fact, there’s quite a lot wrong with his face but I think his hint of a smile suggests that he’s OK with his faults.

Update: JP says he looks like Guy Fawkes – I agree. His hair isn’t long enough to be a cavalier I don’t think.

This one I’ve just done in the last hour – it’s supposed to be one of the playing cards from Alice in Wonderland. My apologies to the original illustrator!
