My Chinese Botanical Project posted on January 27 2015 in Chinese Embroidery

 

Here's my new Chinese embroidery project.  This was intended as a set of four botanical embroideries. of orchids, cymbidiums, carnations and paradise bird.  I decided to do them two at a time and am working on the other two at the moment. Stay tuned!

Orchids + Cymbidiums

Here are two progress shots:
