3D Leaves

Silk shading work 3D leaves.

Often these silk shading technique is called needle painting. I had to make a plan how I  use all colours to achieve quite natural shade.

More than 10 colours in Green shade, I made these green leaves to give a good hiding spot for my leopard.

This leopard hiding from the leaf is myself hiding from social media.

Flooded with all social media photos and news, I feel quite I feel I do not know what I am good at and question about my identity.

Finally Leopard is hiding safely behind these beautiful leaves and wait for the time comes to run again.
