I've been practicing stumpwork (3D embroidery) techniques for a week. I have been working on using wire and button hole stitch to create tulip petals that are raised on the embroidery work. However, I still need practice. In the meantime, I've posted a tulip from my stumpwork sampler. It comes from Jane Nicholas' book using Persian, Syrian and Indian artwork for inspiration.
Below is part of a separate series I am working on inspired by voodoo charms and symbolism.
