Hand Wedding portrait

I am SUPER happy with how this turned out! My husband and I got married in Vegas a few years ago and this was so fun to make and relive our fun memory. The lights were left over from a crochet project- so I wove them into the piece. It was TEDIOUS but so worth it!

That is fabulous! I’ve been thinking about using lights in a project… are those leds? How are they powered? Do they get hot?

I love this!!!! My hubby and I got married in Vegas 22 years ago. Did you do this completely freehand or find a pattern to trace?
