The French knots have been brilliant for adding texture and when you stitch onto felt, the felt 'puffs up' around the stitch, adding more texture of its own.

I like the way it has evolved, with just some photos and a rough sketch to work from. I think this more 'organic' sort of embroidery is much more me than the 'copy a pattern' sort, much as I like looking at that type. Nearly finished now...<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-69790204568400236522014-01-20T10:49:19.453+00:002014-01-20T10:49:19.453+00:00Thanks, Mirjam.
