Hand embroidery

Hi, it has been a long time since I posted. I have had several courses running teaching watercolour painting and time has flown by. So far I have nearly completed the flowers for my hand embroidery design and will soon be adding the church covered with snow. I chose blue linen fabric for this design so that when I stitch the snow in white and silver it will show up nicely. I have used a variety of techniques to embroider the design. I stitched holly leaves using soluble fabric, with my sewing machine, ribbon embroidery and surface embroidery. The Hellebore flowers were stitched using ribbon embroidery and I used beads for the berries of the holly and mistletoe. I now just have the variegated ivy to finish.
