    VERY nice! I love that you show both the sketch and the finished product. I'm especially impressed by the textile and the way you've managed to imply folds with watercolor.
    Great job!
    ps: Thanks for visiting my blog

    Great job. And creative idea for stitch. I especially like the fold in the stars area.
