BES,
short for Brazilian Embroidery Study.
I have studied the booklet,
First I basted a thin sheet of woven interfacing to the back of the green silk to stabilize the silk and have somewhere to anchor the stitches.
Then I basted protective edges to the silk. This will make it easier to stretch the fabric in a hoop without damaging the silk.
I then started on the stitching.
I wrapped yellow shiny thread around a wooden bead and fixed it to the centre of the purple tatted flower.
New:
Vaxholmskudden
This is the working title for a cushion I am going to make in Swedish wool embroidery á la Karin Derland.
So far I have picked out some fabric.

A lot to see today. The BES has started well. I am not brave enough to have tried working on silk but it will add richness to the stitches.
The C4C is gorgeous. I thought the braid was a length of beads.
The cover of the book has interesting stitches.
Is this the one you will stitch or are there other patterns?
You have your hands full now. :-))
Lots of progress this week! How are you liking the rayon Brazilian thread?
Going very well - a good use of that tatted flower, too!
A good start for BES. Crazy is looking good and I'm looking forward to seeing how the new one progresses.
That wool work looks interesting.
