TAST Oyster Stitch Week 15

I have finally finished my sample for Oyster Stitch.
And did I have some problems with this one in the beginning.
Once I discovered that I was doing something wrong I was o.k. but it was touch and go there for a while.
I thought that this was going to be the week that I wouldn't be posting a sample.
Now that I have mastered it I love it and will definitely use it again.
The threads I have used are Perle 5--variegated Embroidery thread and rayon ribbon floss on a pale blue counted linen fabric.

Yep, I bet I'd probably do that one wrong too. Glad you figured it out. It looks like a beautiful stitch.

These look great, havent got onto that one, doing the bonnett stitch at the moment. Had enough problems working that one out. I am so behind with being away and sick but getting there.
Fibre forum was GREAT.

I'm trying to cath up....this stitch looks like flower petals or maybe small leaves. Very pretty.
I love all your cards, and charms, and the letter "D" is great. You always do fantastic work.

This is a really nice stitch Doreen and I love the embroidery thread you have used.
Am very keen to get into more textile art. And will be visiting The Thread Studio in Perth early June. No doubt I will buy heaps of goodies there!
