A hand embroidery piece in progress featuring the outline of a red squirrel made up of floral and leaf patterns. The stitched areas include warm-toned flowers and autumn leaves in shades of orange, gold, yellow, and brown. The tail and head are partially completed, with the rest of the design sketched in pink outline on a white fabric. The fabric is held in a wooden embroidery hoop.
Close-up of the hand embroidered head of a red squirrel composed of floral motifs. A detailed leaf in orange and grey tones forms the ear, and the eye is stitched in shades of black and grey with a white highlight. Brown stitching outlines the nose and mouth, with delicate whiskers in grey. A pansy in shades of orange and brown sits below the squirrels ear.
Close-up of the upper tail section of the red squirrel hand embroidery. The design includes a large, textured yellow-orange poppy flower with a dark brown center, surrounded by embroidered leaves in rust, gold, and grey tones. The stitching showcases satin stitch and long and short stitch techniques for shading and dimension.
Today I stitched a leaf for the red squirrels ear and a pansy on the face. I’d love to know what you think so far 🐿️🧡
