Embroidery: Rialto Bridge

This piece is from a new series I just completed called Venice Take 2.  The reason it's take 2 is that I originally created the collages in 2005 after my trip to Venice.  But a few years ago when I began adding embroidery to my collages I realized that this set would look even better with a bit of embroidery to help draw your eye to key parts of the piece.  So, I decided to rework them. 

Here's the original photo of the Rialto Bridge. 

And here's the pen and ink drawing of the Jester mask.

Enjoy!
