Today, I,m going to
embroider another fish – smaller than the previous one.
For the head and body, I’ve used one strand
from the 6-strand floss. Satin stitch for the head and long and short stitch
for the body. I’ve also made 2 straight stitches at the bottom of the body for
the fins (6 strands). The tail is buttonhole/blanket stitch (2 strands).
Here, I’ve covered the fins with buttonhole
knots (3 strands) and worked buttonhole knots on the tail (2 strands). (Please
refer frilled buttonhole stitch). Embroider tiny fly stitches (2 strands),
close to each other for the fin at the top of the body. And, 2 curved lines on
the body for the stripes (6 strands).
Work buttonhole knots on the curved lines and
tiny googly eye to complete this fish. I’ll have to embroider a few more to
show them swimming in a group.
I’m nearing the end of my underwater scene
project. There’s still one more sea creature left. Can you guess what it is?
So cute! I just love how you made this fish come to life! The button works wonderfuly for the eye! blessings,Kathleen
