Hi Becky,
You should get Helan Pierce's Dimentional Embroidery. Its a lovely book .
All her projekts in this book are made in wool, but you can easy adapt them
to the yarn you prefer. I translated and used Eterna stranded Silk Floss.
Each petal is first outlined with a thin wire, then the edge is heavily
buttonhole stitched. Finally you stitch with short and long stitch of the
whole petal. When all things is done, they can be cut out and sewed onto the
foundation embroidery and this way it gets 3 dimentional. I have 2 flower
buds, 4 green leaves and 2 full blomed flowers in dimentional embroidery on
this bag.
It really looks much more difficult than it is, i was quite surprised how
easy it was done and also how lovely it looks when embroidery gets
dimentional.

I loved the bags. how did you get the tiny petals to stand off the surface?
I can embroidry pretty well but have not done any such 3-D work/ I'm
interested in how you did it.

Hi,
I finished the embroidery with the dimentional flowers for a ladys bag. I
baught some silk chiffon wich i want to use for the gusset of the bag.
Then
i want to make a big tassel wich is going to hang at the bottom of the
bag
of the pink floss you see on the top of the chiffon. Finally i shall also
make the handle somehow of the same pink thread.
