I wasn't gonna allow June to pass without me drawing a killer whale, so here's a painting of K20 Spock for Orca Action Month. She has been my favorite Southern Resident ever since I learned about her, mostly because her appearance challenges what many expect a female orca to look like, showing that biology is far more complex than just a simple binary. Her dorsal fin and pectoral flippers are nowhere near as large as that of an adult male, but I can absolutely see why she was mistaken for a male for so long. She definitely has the proportions of a sprouting male.

could you give a tutorial for the barbed wire stitching please? ^_^

Sure! I've never done a tutorial before, so I'm sorry if this is a little confusing 💀

The whole design is made of simple straight stitches, so it's pretty easy :)

1. Make a diagonal stitch, then make another one in the opposite direction to create an 'X', that is wider toward the end.

2. Make two more diagonal stitches to create another X attached to the end of the first one.

3. Make two more diagonal stitches that face outward, creating the 'barbs'

3. Create straight horizontal stitches between the barbs, I'd say about 3-5, depending on how far apart you make the stitches.

4. Create two diagonal stitches facing outward again, facing the opposite direction of the first two barbs, closing off the first shape.

5. Create another X between the barbs, and repeat the process again until you reach the end of whatever you're embroidering :)

I would suggest making the X's a bit longer and narrower than I did here, because I think it looks a bit better that way, but honestly it doesn't matter all that much :)
