After a few sessions working solely on leaves I was beginning to look forward to working long and short stitch on the white flower; so much so that I decided to leave it to last. I know that sounds a little bizarre but I always like to keep something special for the end of a project. I find having something to look forward to helps me to get me through the more mundane techniques – not that I am finding anything about Camellias mundane.

All of the silk leaves are done in one of two shades of green.

Some of them have a line of held thread along the central vein; some of them have a little short stitch holding.

There is so little variation in the colour or techniques used, yet there is so much variety in the appearance of the leaves.

This is just one of the many reasons Japanese embroidery delights me.
Happy Stitching

It does seem that Japanese embroidery takes the fullest advantage of the differences created simply by stitch orientations!
Lovely
Beautiful and even more when you you see it for real. Thank you for sharing from sue X
