This is of a very delicate material nature.... several transparent sheets of fabric and each have detailed "drawings" on them made out of stitches with fine black yarn. All on a canvas on a frame, measuring about 50 cm x 50 cm. I'd have a whole wall full of these, and depending on how the light shines on them, they look different.

What about using this "technique" with stitched images based on  photographs of the same person, but from different times in their lives, .... you could keep adding new drawings, as life goes on ... and have a "stack" of stitched drawings for each member of the family....
