Eve, the 1st victim of mysogyny

What it's "femicide"? It's the murder of a woman for reasons of gender.  Since the beginning of the times, women have been unfairly stroked out as villains through misogynist, speeches/ ideas.

Embroidery has been a subject I find exciting and beautiful, and since a few years ago, I've been playing with the possibilities of illustration and embroidery. In more or less successful outcomes, this post is dedicated to my favorite try-outs which I separate in three different categories. Coeur, watercolours, inks & thread on paper by Salas, E. (2020) Embroidery illustrations by Salas, E. These illustrations are a few examples of how by incorporating a few strings and patterns of embroidery as part the illustration, can pop out the main idea or feeling.  Even if it's just to add a bit of colour, or mere experimentation in my sketchbooks, I enjoy the process and the results.
