I like this embroidery especially because of the unusual and vibrant petals. The leaves, however, are my favorite part of the embroidery. They seem airy and flexible, just like the spindly stems.
Every petal is made with a french knot with a tail, the stem with a stem stitch, and the leaves with an interesting variation of the stem stitch.
The first difficulty I faced while completing the project was repetition. It would look strange if four out of the five blossoms were facing a certain way, or if three out of the four leaves were light green and only one was dark.
Fortunately, it seemed to turn out very well, and I am very pleased that I decided to try embroidering a rather funny looking, half-circle shaped flower with a thin, spindly stem.
