In August last year I started an embroidery (16 x 26 cm or 6 x 10,5 inch) for my oldest daughter. I was inspired by the
Stitch Wars. It took me only a few days to stitch the outlines in backstitches. And then . . .
. . . nothing until now. I knew how I wanted this piece to look, but I didn't know how to do that. Last Thursday Mary Corbet posted a
tutorial about color control and then I knew what I had to do! I filled the bottom left side with stemstitches. This part is stitched in dark brown and I experimented with the direction of the stitches. In other parts of this embroidery I will try some shading with the help of the color control tutorial.
These are the colors I'm going to use. It's a challenge to use only stranded DMC again!

Be very nice embroidery, me thinks this is. ;-)
