This one has a secret.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt first glance, she is the Queen. Confident, independent and unmistakably Western, she stands her ground with a six-shooter in her hand, surrounded by roses, boots and details inspired by the American West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut look a little closer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s an Ace hiding in her hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI created The Queen With an Ace Up Her Sleeve around the idea that strength isn’t always about showing everyone the cards you’re holding. Sometimes the strongest woman in the room is the one who knows exactly what she has and doesn’t feel the need to announce it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe may be the Queen, but she has kept an Ace for herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a piece about confidence, independence and knowing that no matter what hand life deals you, sometimes it helps to have one more card in your back pocket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause a smart queen never shows all her cards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE ARTWORK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a print or mass-produced wall decoration. It is original textile artwork created with thread.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI begin with my original artwork and personally digitize the illustration for embroidery, translating the lines, details and character of the drawing into thousands of individual stitches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this piece, I chose natural cork because its texture and markings reminded me of worn leather, weathered saddles and old playing cards. The cork isn’t simply a background. Its natural texture becomes part of the artwork itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause cork is a natural material, subtle variations in texture and markings are expected and help give each finished piece its own character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom across the room, you see a piece of Western art. Step closer and you begin to see the individual threads, stitches, textures and layers that created it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFRAMED AND FINISHED\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe embroidered artwork is carefully mounted onto foam board and presented in a rustic barnwood-style frame selected to complement the warm, weathered character of the piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artwork measures 16” x 20”. The finished frame measures approximately 23” high x 18.75” wide x 1.25” deep.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuality metal hanging hardware is included for you to install in your preferred position on the back of the frame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Original Texas Untamed artwork\u003cbr\u003e• Designed and digitized by the artist\u003cbr\u003e• Machine embroidered on natural cork\u003cbr\u003e• Western Queen and Ace playing-card design\u003cbr\u003e• 16” x 20” artwork\u003cbr\u003e• Overall framed dimensions approximately 23” H x 18.75” W x 1.25” D\u003cbr\u003e• Artwork carefully mounted onto foam board\u003cbr\u003e• Rustic barnwood-style frame\u003cbr\u003e• Quality metal hanging hardware included\u003cbr\u003e• Framed artwork only\u003cbr\u003e• Created in Canyon Lake, Texas\u003cbr\u003e• Free shipping within the United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Queen With an Ace Up Her Sleeve is part of the Texas Untamed Western Card Collection, a series of original embroidered artwork inspired by the cards we’re dealt and the ones we choose to play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal artwork designed, digitized, embroidered and finished by Texas Untamed in Canyon Lake, Texas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn Wild.
