Yhanks. I will look that book up. Maybe the library has it locally. I love
your embroidery. I used to make pillow cases for wedding gifts. My
grandmother-in-law said it was the tiniest stitches she'd ever seen. I have
one set that I kept. My 2 year old tried to help me with it. She snipped a
big hole in one. I covered it with an applique butterfly. No one would know.

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.
Bjarne

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.
