I really love how she uses different colours for the tones in the faces she stitches into. I especially like it when the colours are exaggerated because it makes it look more interesting.

I find it very impressive how she managed to sew perfect tones of light on the shiny part of there face because it’s bold but blends in well.

I like her technique in this picture, it’s so neat and tidy and I find it very impressive that not one stitch gone over another. It’s all in a pattern and if you look closely the stitches look like crosses.

In this picture she she does a different technique, the stitching is messy and untidy and even the loos ends of the stitches are showing.
