Cretan Stitch [TAST]


Take a Stitch Tuesday - this week's stitch is cretan stitch. I used this stitch a lot when I was doing my City & Guilds embroidery course. But I still had to look how to do it! [poor brain]
It is to be part of a fabric journal, which includes paper. I scanned this page first but the top left leafy paper came out all blurred, so then I photographed it but it is a bit dark.
Anyone in the UK see the Northern Lights yesterday? I didn't and I don't suppose I will today as it is very cloudy.

Embroidered Mono Prints

These little canvas's [5x7 inches] have been mono-printed with
acrylic paints quite thickly for texture. I then hand embroidered them with cretan stitch and fern stitch. The beads and sequins were put on last.
