La Boca - Something New

In the weeks since I finished Spanish Eyes, I've been flitting about, unable to land on a new project.

La Boca. The design for a new. slightly naughty X stitch portrait of my lips.

Feeling oddly drawn to working with some new materials, mixing stitching with more solid media, like metal and vinyl. Many experiments and many fails (my drilling skills are non-existent). For personal reasons, I'm going to be out-of-commission for a few weeks, so I won't be able to work on the alternative materials. 

Stitched, redwork words. I'm trying to incorporate these into a metal piece, but so far nothing has worked.

In the meantime, I designed a new x stitch project, La Boca, a slightly naughty image of my own lips. It's a great project to work on while I'm laying low for a few weeks. I'm thinking about submitting it to next year's Stitch Fetish show, but I'm not sure if it's naughty enough.

Is it?
