Horsing Around

I decided to horse around with the horse I digitized.  This is the same horse design that I previously used in my "Horse of a Different Color" art quilt.

Since I free cut some of the pieces for the art quilt by hand, the tail is very different. So is the mane.

I wanted to play with the horse machine embroidery just a bit. I used a twisted thread which is a combination of aqua/teal and white for this variation of the "Horse of a Different Color."
I had tried a variegated thread but it was creating stripes and I stopped it quickly and changed plans. The twisted thread gives a textural feel that is different from a solid thread.  I suppose "tweedy" would be a good description.

I think that this would be a great thread to use as an eye color on one of my doll faces too.
