I have started on the arms in split stitch. I am thinking about how to work her face. I have never worked a face before, and I want to keep the expression.
I thought I’d show you the back today, in case you are curious.
Anyway, posting is light because my dissertation writeup is due in less than two months. So I am writing a lot, but not for y’all! Am looking forward to getting back to embroidery 🙂 Soon!
embroidery for ducks 
Face…maybe continental?
hmmmmm!
How do you do the face? Carefully!
ha!
Curious about the back. How do you avoid entanglement when not snipping threads as you go?
Well, sometimes they do get tangled. But cutting them shorter makes me feel like they might unravel.
She is so adorable! I’ve never done a face, so no help from me. Good luck, I’m watching to see how you do! And good luck on defending your dissertation. (my son defends his in March)
thanks!
I love to embroider faces.I feel satin stitch is the most perfect (depends on the width, is this a small face?)
Her face is about the size of my thumbprint.

Felicitation vos coutures sonts magnifique
thank you!
It is so good to see you again. I have gone back on your entries because I missed a few. My mom got sick so I had to sell the house and get her used to a retirement center. She is now blind. I very much enjoy your embroidery. I too will have to sit and let my hands to some needle work. I have trouble with my eyes but I just take me glasses off so I can see in more detail. You are a wonder. Thank you.
So sorry to hear your mom is sick. I hope she does well at the retirement center.
