Old cloud filling

TAST stitch 78 is cloud filling. TAST stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday, 
a challenge at Pin Tangle.

I made 2 samples in 2010 and never used this lovely stitch again! This owl is my TAST 2010 sampler. I used the filling for Spinjenny’s owl. The outlines are whipped backstitches with 2 threads of stranded floss. I also used it for the grid of the fillings, but I made a different grid for each part of the pattern. For the lacing of the owl and the branch I used perle 5, the other lacing is done with 2 threads of stranded floss. I made 3 detached chain stitches in black perle 5 for each claw. For the beak I used padded satin stitch with 2 threads of stranded floss. Take a closer look at this owl here.
This detail is part of my pink ornament. I stitched a grid on polka dot fabric with 2 threads of mocha floss called Six Strand Sweet Hand-dyed by Jessica Burr. For the lacing I used cotton a broder.
There are more old samples of cloud filling from other participants in the Flickr TAST group.
