Here's the peacock, all finished. I've used a host of stitches here - satin stitch, padded satin stitch, outline stitch, fishbone stitch, chain stitch, whipped chain stitch, herringbone stitch, long-and-short stitch, french knots, running stitch and, of course, straight stitch.
I hope I've been able to capture the colourful resplendence of the bird here. Next up, the entire piece.
Absolutely beautiful piece of embroidery,Madhulika. Congratulations on creating a masterpiece!! What do you plan to do with it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Deepa! I've got it framed, and will put up pictures of the finished piece in my next post.
