Well, I did a few more french knots after all – see the edge of the green at the top of the skirt? I decided to work most of the skirt in Romanian couching. It’s directional, so you can give the fabric a sense of movement, and it fills space well. Here is a closer picture – take a look at how different the textures can be. The wings and the skirt are both silk, just different kinds!
