I’m still trudging on with the commissions. I have two or three more goldfish designs on the go at the moment and here’s one I’ve just finished. Apparently the image of a goldfish means Good Luck in Chinese tradition, and I believe that this embroidery was intended as a gift for an elderly Chinese lady. It’s just a simple combination of three of the fish and a design of waterweed. Unfortunately the scan misses a lot of the subtlety and shading of the original embroidery but it’s a pleasant enough composition
