Yesterday I was unwrinkling my brain with embroidery, and redid this flower at least three times before I was happy with it, and then something clicked and it felt like I unlocked another level on the embroidery skill tree... Anyway, it's not done yet, but I think it might turn out pretty nice!

#Embroidery#Patchwork

Top down photo of an old fashioned shape flower embroidered on a patchwork block. It's done in vibrant mixed hues, and vaguely has the look of traditional embroidery and motifs on folk dress and 18th century inspired nature prints, but due to the colours and background looks pretty modern also. An outline has been backstitched in variegated embroidery floss, in four different colourways, and this has then been partially filled in with chain stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch and split stitch, giving it a bunch of different textures that nonetheless go nicely together. One leaf of two has a bit of satin stitch fill in it, in a vibrant teal pine green, matching the little patch of fabric right below it. It's not a grand piece of art, but it looks fairly intentional and dynamic all in all! Sini's fingertips in frame, she has shortened her nails.
