curbed.

man, if only my stitchery were advanced enough to capture the likeness of larry david so i could bite this embroidery. or if only the gal erin who made this masterpiece for one of the readymade bloggers were also MY friend and it was also MY birthday and she also made one for ME! it's fantasy friday around these parts, did nobody tell you? and since we're imagining, this piece would only be the first in a SERIES! and the next two would be based on these beauties:
and then i would have THREE awesome LD portraits to hang on my wall! ah, if wishes were pennies...

omg OMG did I tell you abt my Old Man List? the one w/the top 5 old dudes I want to bang??? Larry is SO on there. I want/need more talented friends like that! no offense to the non-talented ones.

i just got season 7 of curb off netflix and marathon watched it. now i find myself (rather annoyingly) saying "pretty pretty good" all too often. i can embroider... but not well enough to tackle larry.

& megan - larry is definitely on my old man list too. is he ever. also - jack nicholson. & perhaps steve martin.

megan, yes, you DID tell me about your old man list! but i can't remember who's on it thanks to the margarita haze i heard it through.

mallory, curb makes for the best marathons. and while we're talking oldies, i'm just gonna add bill murray to the list.

hi Lisa! This is Erin, the girl that did the original Larry David embroidery! I made it for my boyfriend Mike's sister, Polly, for her birthday (or maybe xmas?) a few years back. Her birthday is coming around again and I'm going to be making her a Steve Brule portrait embroidery. I've been searching for images to work from and couldn't really remember how I styled LD, so I did a "Larry David Embroidery" google image search to try to find a picture of it, and imagine my pleasure when I found this link to it! Your posted image is the first one that comes up in the search! Thank you for posting it and thank you for your joy! If you're still interested in owning an LD embroidered portrait, let me know!
