Ahh, now you see I used to work in a sport shop and I loved the smell of cricket balls. Sort of leather and varnish. lovely. *sigh* takes me back to when I had a real life!
Artist Reply: I had a boyfriend a while ago who was cricket mad and how I got to look at a cricket ball. I had no idea how beautiful they were. Of course for me the stitching fascinated me. I have absolutely no idea about the game itself! LOL! Thanks for your comment Stu. Regards. Cathy
Artist Reply: Thanks Bailey. It's painted in acrylic and then the string was stiched through the canvas, then also overpainted to add shadows. Thanks for the compliment. Regards. Cathy
