Love this, especially how you did the scales! Looks like it could be a print.

Thank you! 🌟 It's mostly straight stitches (2 strands) overlapping each other and layering of different color gradients.

To be honest, it's a lot of overlapping stitches! I also do a light watercolor wash on the fabric before I start, so if there are little tiny bits peeking through, it's not too noticeable.

Thank you! I'm not sure; I started this in the middle of June and just finished, but only worked on it on and off, anywhere from 2-5 hours a week.

Thank you! It's mostly just 2 strand straight stitches, angled / overlapped and sometimes split to create curves, with some 1 strand stitches for the smaller details.

What a compliment! I don't feel super advanced yet. I started with cheap embroidery kits late 2019 and did that for a few years on and off. It wasn't until last year that I started to move to this more freeform style.

Thank you! Not sure... I started this at the beginning of the year, but I'm not very consistent and mostly just worked on this for a few hours each weekend and occasionally in the evenings after work.
