It was quite a fiddly little stitch to embroider but it is worth the effort. There is a base of straight stitches and the 'walls' of the cup are created by working another knotted stitch through these base stitches. Sharon's tutorial for the stitch is here.
I added three little pink 'cups' to the centre of one of my circles and I added three seed pearls to the centre of each of the cups. It makes a pretty little flower.
So sweet and could also easily be used for a nest with eggs. Very cute!

It is very pretty. I do like working with a tapestry needle, but reading the tutorial I see what you mean about "fiddly"!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little stitch!
ReplyDeleteWunderschöne Arbeit, da steckt schon eine graoßartige Fleißarbeit drin. Süß die kleine Stickerei mit den Perlen, wie in einem Nest.

Oh, they are the sweetest! So cute with the pearls inside. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet! This piece looks so amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty--I like the addition of the seed pearls! Your stitchery is filling up nicely! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteIt would make nice birds nests too. Your sampler is looking great!
