SPLIT STITCH
In general, Embroidery allows me to create in such a different way than
cross stitch or punch needle...
~ the stitches used are simple,
but the effects one can achieve with such simple, basic stitches is so enjoyable!
Any motif or design can be rendered in embroidery ~
and you can stitch them from primitive, naive-looking,
to more detailed and filled-in work, such as I love to do...
I know that some of you shy away from the filled-in designs because you're unsure
that you can achieve the same look...
but I am here to attest to the fact that you can!

a bit of practice, making TINY stitches and patience is truly all you need.
