  2. Thanks! I first found two pictures of us that were similar in size then I used the Picasa pencil/sketch tool to figure out what lines were the important one to embroider. I traced those lines onto some fabric then started embroidering. For the highlighting/texture/face details, I used only 2 or 3 strands of the embroidery floss so that it wasn't too chunky. Hope that helps! I'd love to see your finished project!
