Cherry Wine: embroidery on refuse plastic (mesh from produce bag, hoop cut from a take-away container)
The mesh was tacked to the hoop before wrapping with floss. I sketched the image on paper and then taped the hoop to the paper and embroidered an outline to make sure I could line up the stitches and shape with the intersections of the mesh. Then I filled in details without the paper behind the hoop.
