Today was a public holiday in honour of the Queen's Birthday, so with the weather being pretty dismal, it was a good excuse to spend a lot of the day stitching.
I spent a lot of time stitching the small stamped leaves on the right hand side.Then it was time to sew random lines of 2 shades of grey and of cream reflecting the previously dyed colours of the fabric. Then I stitched similar rows over the area where I planned to put the pale leaves. They were then stitched into place with all the edges and veins sewn in a creamy yellow.
This is a detail of the various layers of fabric and stitch. There are some areas that I'm not quite so happy with, but I think that I can add some more elements to disguise those places!
