My son took the photograph of this Warty Pig when we visited the zoo. I just had to do something with him.

 I have been trying out a new method and this seemed to be the perfect opportunity. I played around with Warty Pigs image in photoshop, printed him, turned the paper image into paper fabric and then topped stitched. He is only 5 3/4 x 4 inches and I think he looks really happy.

Wow looks great!  How did you do that so small?  I'm quite sure I would have run over a finger in the process.

He looks just wonderful, your stitching is very realistic, also love the background.

love it! always wanted to do threadplay (if that is how you call what you did!) but it is way beyond my expertise...

Very nice. He does look happy and I bet you are too with the great outcome. I was wondering if you used a rather thick paper for this project or did you use a stablizer to keep the stitch from tearing thru the paper? I love the texture of the background...it looks so good with your stitches. I'd say you have a new technique mastered! Nancy

Hi - I borrowed parts of the tecnique from Jill Kennedy's paper quilting in June/July issue of QA, leaving out the crayons paint etc, but printing the design instead. Thanks for all the great comments!

He is the most beautiful wart hog I've ever seen!  Great job.

This is great... your machine skills are admirable. This warty one has definite personality.

How fun!  I love this piece!

I also do thread work and find it so rewarding.

I love the use of the black, red and yellow in his hair.
