I'm caught up with myself!
Made this pic last spring from a magazine pattern - blackwork (greenwork if you will) with felt flowers.
Little owl from Toyko - well you've gotta get one if you're there!
Both top right and bottom left squares are done in leaf pattern, but top right is done using the blackwork technique while bottom left is done using the pulled thread technique.
This is a pattern from "The New Carolingian Modelbook". I'm using the blackwork bands, all "cross" patterns, to break up the heaviness of the cross-stitch bands, and add the sparkle of gold.
Top right square is cross stitch. Bottom left is the same pattern, but it is done using Assisi technique.

I finally caved and bought labcoats for work (I work at Rikers) and I decided to give it a little fun but attempting Blackwork Embroidery through details....
For "textural" interest, I bumped this band over half a motif- I like the way it balances. I'm still considering whether to just work these patterns on the other end and leave the center plain, or to do a few narrow bands of some sort (blackwork? assissi? pulled thread work?) in the center space... I guess I'd better figure it out fairly quick!

This is part of a new e pattern for a stitchery set I have just listed on Etsy. The listing is for a pattern for tiny little birds just sized right for 38mm buttons and a bookmark featuring four birds - three facing one way and the other beating his own drum and facing the other.
