Nice colors, great stichwork, and a lot of character
I was somewhat on the fence about how cartoonish the birds looked in the picture, but I love birds and I love purple, so I figured it was worth getting. Up close, you can see just how detailed and perfect the stitchwork is. It also becomes clear that she is depicting these birds in naturalistic poses that I recognize from my own birds. Ms. Perez is clearly both a great seamstress and a great observer of nature, and she also has a good color sense. I also really like the composition on this piece.

Intricate design. Flattering shirt.
This is a very cool, cotton blouse. The embroidery is extensive, but understated. When you look on the back you can see the work that has been done. It would be better to wash by hand. I am using a stockings bag in the washing machine - this may affect the embroidery cotton longer term. I love it enough to repair by hand if needed.
