Its mostly done in back stitch but also some satin, split and the squiggles on the birds were done in the scalloping chain stitch I found in the Sublime Stitching book.
Oh! and a special thanks to the Sublime Stitching website, for having a great tutorial on the french knot! I went through four needlework books instructions and couldn't figure the buggers out until I found their tutorial.
I actually did count the french knots in this piece and there are 220! Whew!
A few close ups!
Have a lovely week! I'll be back soon!
Excellent job! I LOVE the colors! Especially how you changed colors for the wings. I can't believe there were that many french knots in there. I learned how to do French knots seeing Jenny Hart on a craft show a ways back. She makes it so easy!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, takes alot of patience (am I shocked, teehee).
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!! You have so much patience with these things. Needlework makes me want to scream and rip it all out (along with my hair).
