Welcome to my embroidery channel! My name is Janine, and I am a zookeeper that specializes in lifelike threadpainted portraits. I have been doing hand embroidery for two years, and I would love to share my craft with you! I specialize in wild cats, but I've stitched a variety of mammals with painstaking detail. I draw inspiration from the animals I work with, as well as animals in other zoos as well!

Follow along for project progress, and tips for beginners and intermediate stitches alike.
