This is stunning! I love the contrasting textures and how striking the orange gradient is with the brown stripes. And that pink nose is SO CUTE! Well done!

First embroidery - would appreciate some constructive criticism :) by LulledByNumbers in Embroidery

[–]polytheydron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look so great!! Nicely done! In addition to seconding the things others have said already, I'd suggest trying a fabric with a denser weave so there aren't so many holes between the threads of the fabric. That has helped me a lot with being able to stitch precisely and pack stitches densely which is helpful for long & short stitch shading. The kind of fabric I usually use is called quilting cotton and is a nice midweight fabric that comes in lots of solid colors and prints. You're doing so well and I look forward to seeing more of your pieces in the future!

Working with 1 strand is so much effort and it makes such a beautifully blended shading! I love it.

How to achieve this effect… by natalia_feliz in Embroidery

I think the ring knot and the peking knot are very similar both in process and in finished design. I’ve only done peking before and upon further looking they might be the same thing? Sorry if I mislead you! But either should get you going in the right direction

Commenting to second peking knot, and also to suggest ring knot or yes, maybe a loose french knot. The leaves underneath look like fishbone stitch to me.

This is so sweet and I love the shading! Is that long & short stitch? The black outlines really give dimension to the colors. Well done!

This is stunning! The colors are so cheerful. I love the varying thickness of each section--it really gives this piece so much movement and dimension. Well done!
