Embroidered pebble – first stage finished.

I managed to get the embroidery for the top of the pebble finished this week.

Couching and french knots round the backstitched spiders’ webs.

With chain stitch in variegated silk thread.

Chain stitch converging on a patch of couched boucle thread and more french knots.

In shade.

And in a rare patch of November sunlight.

I’ll put it away for a few days before I start making it up.
