- Replying to the3toedgothPerhaps you're giving me too much credit here 😂, but yes, I put a lot of thought into making it work.

- Replying to the3toedgothThank you! I'm glad that came through. I needed to have some way of distinguishing the reflection from the 'real' thing.
- Caria chrysame psittacus butterfly (say that 3 times fast!) 🧶 This is the 2nd butterfly I've made in as many weeks. I'll probably move on to something else for a while, but it never lasts too long. I love making moths and butterflies! 🦋 #embroidery #handembroidery #wildlifeart #butterfly #sciart

- I used to cross stitch, but I was too slow at it. I prefer the 'speed' of embroidery (though it is hardly a fast hobby) 😊

- Replying to the3toedgothThank you! This style of stitching is called threadpainting, so there's that. I think because the individual thread colors can't be mixed/blended like you can with paint, it evokes the more impressionistic painters who used visible strokes with individual colors. Just a thought 🤔

- Replying to sneegletThank you! It's taken me years to get to this point, so it's not something that happens overnight. But it is something that anyone who wants to can do. I had no skills when I first started 😁
