You must have the patience of a saint! How long did that take you?

Thank you!

It took me around 20 hours of work for the tree, and probably even more than that for the other one, but I don't know exactly. It was difficult to do, I had to take the sleeves apart to make the embroidery easier, so I only did a little bit at a time, over the course of a few months...

Twenty hours!!! I have a tough time finding the patience for any project whose completion I can't guarantee in one sitting (planning, though, is another story). Tip of the hat to you!

Glad to hear it! Much as I love Legolas, I'm afraid people give too much attention to that Mirkwood prince, and too little to Haldir. :)

Wow!! **bows to you** Your embroidery is AMAZING! And both shirts look hella awesome!!

Do like the idea of something just being on the sleeve of the shirt...that's actually pretty cool!

Thank you!

I've made several tshirts like that, with only the sleeves embroidered, it's a bit complicated because you have to take the sleeve apart beforehand, but it looks great!
