I finished a tiny embroidery piece today! It's a double-sided lotus!

Another process pic, after I filled in the lightest pink: https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvLxndD73o/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
At this point I realised that I should have started from the lightest pink, because that was a feather stitch that could have been more naturally filled outwards from than starting from the edges. A lot of the time I found myself unsure which direction the stitches should have gone, and that would have been a simpler decision-making process if I started from the inner feather stitch first.
Final: https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1-JhIgSpB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
I meant to add a bit more dimension to the stem with a different green, but I didn't quite grasp how to do that.
I'm gonna do something with a double-running stitch now for simplicity's sake! I'm gonna make the little white spirit from My Neighbour Totoro (which is called Chi-chi-ta in the Cantonese version).

Have you seen Jane Nicholas's stumpwork embroidery books? They are among my favorite sewing books ever. I have embroidered a few small beetles, but I am not quite patient enough for really good results.
