Friday Homework for Lesson 34: Japanese Stitch

Late again, but I have worked hard!

Here is my homework for stitch #34 Japanese Stitch.

First as a canvas stitch

Which was easy to stitch and makes a nice filling.

The Japanese embroidery with flat silk floss on kimono silk was harder to work.

The stitch could just as well be ordinary Satin Stitch, I guess.

After having done the Japanese Stitch I added Stem Stitch - for the stems.

Then I added some Chinese Knot Stitches in purple and blue,
threw in a few silver lines made of Japanese Stitch,
and a sprinkle of Chinese Cross Stitches in gold.

This will eventually become a greeting card.

Nihon Shishu, Japanese embroidery, is more difficult than I thought. I will have to try again!
