Taking flight
This project contains stumpwork
It is in fact an embroidery that we had made several years ago but which needs a good rejuvenation. I propose you accompany me in this process.
The purpose of this work is to embroider butterflies and insects using different techniques including stumpwork.

The stems are embroidered in stem stitch with 1 thread.
