Voodoo and Persian Tulips

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.
