I had so much fun with my pineapple and first attempt at brush embroidery that I decided to try it again.  I was curious about the dot technique that @Ewa Kiszowara uses.  I was cleaning out my closet and found a purse that I got in Istanbul (when we used to be able to travel) at the grand bizarre (when we used to be able to move about in crowded places).  It is the perfect size to bring to the theater (when we used to be able to go to the theater) because it fits my eye glass case and cell phone.  It also reminds me of my hair stylist (when we used to be able to get our hair styled) who is from Istanbul.

In any case, it has a faux embossed leather surface.  I thought the dot technique would work best.  It didn't turn out quite as I expected so I tried it again with lines.  I ended up liking that look more.  

Though I don't think my technique is completely up to snuff, I do find it very soothing.  I found myself reminiscing and thinking happy thoughts.

Wow! Such a clever way to reproduce the embossed texture. Fantastic detail work!

Thank you so much Christine @Sweet Prodigy.  This is really such a fun challenge - I so appreciate you creating it.

Another clever and well done idea!

Thank you so much Julia @Julia M. Usher.  Christine is correct - there really are limitless possibilities and I have discovered that the technique is an incredible stress reducer!!

Your little red purse is just beautiful Lisa @LisaF!! You've used the brush embroidery technique in a unique way and it works so well in this application. Awesome work ❤️
