Tropical Blooms parasol, panel 2: leaves
The second tambour-beaded parasol panel is coming along – I’ve both outlined and filled in the leaves. For the smaller ones, this is easiest to do all in one go, rather than doing an outline and going back to it later.
As such, here’s the upper leaves, mostly just in outline but with one small bit completed:
Outlined leaves
Then the lower leaves all done:
The background leaves, outlined and filled in
Then back to the upper leaves again to finish them off:

It’s coming on – I’ll start filling in the flowers next.
This is going to be such a beautiful parasol. And the beads won’t fade in the sun.
I have been watching your needlework progress for awhile and I am impressed! The artistry of your designs, and also the execution of them, is inspiring. Thank you.
