The canvas was hand painted to look like antique paper. There are lots of layers of paint! Embroidering through the painted canvas was a little tough, I found that pre-poking holes made it easier. The Rabbit Queen is stitched mostly with back stitching and lots of french knots. I really like french knots!
While taking photos the first time of The Rabbit Queen for this blog post I noticed I forgot to give her pupils! Now I am noticing I missed the shading lines on the front edges of her crown! And I am still not sure about the extra space at the bottom of the canvas either. I nixed the idea of a banner/ribbon because I am not sure what it should say. I considered giving her a torso or an additional ruff, but I want to avoid stitching on top of the canvas frame... such dilemmas!
