I decided to give the 3 main insects red beaded eyes, with the 4th more distant dragonfly just having painted eyes.
The 3 really distant small dragonflies have no stitching or painted wings so they are much paler. Hopefully they will look as if they really are flying off out of the picture. I also stitched the closest water plant, again leaving the more distant ones unstitched and paler to give the illusion of distance.
The reeds have hand stitched tops, done in a variegated thread and look as though they will be O.K.

Hi Sue,
I love it. It really does show the effect you wanted. Is it for a show?
Thanks Dorothy, I really appreciate your comments. Yes, a big exhibition in October.
