The original piece piece just a bee. I felt it needed more and drew in a flower shape I saw done in whitework. This did not go as planned so I would look up a stitch to do in the RSN Stitchbank and try it - there were some failures. I attempted cutwork but the ground is not evenweave and I found that out the hard way in the upper right leaf. Overall, I am happy with it for now. I completed this while at Pennsic 52.
The completed (or is it) piece.
Prepping to do some more stitches. I decided on cutwork.
Starting to cut away the threads and noticing the error of my ways...
In evenweave fabric, the threads would alternate going over and under each other. These, as you can see, do not.
The finished piece
