To make the petals of the Orchid I used a technique called stumpwork that uses wire inside the embroidery to make the pieces come off of the fabric base. One of my main goals with this series as I continued with it was to try new techniques and challenge myself.

My sign! When I learned that carnations are associated with Capricorn, I had to do a green carnation (IYKYK). I also incorporated more of my linework style into this piece. This is one of the only pieces in this series I still have, along with the Scorpio one.

A dandelion on a gradient purple background that I made using watercolour pigments. I has also gotten into felting around this time and used a felting technique to make the fluff of the dandelion.

To challenge myself a tried out the thread-painting technique for the first time to make this Chrysanthemum, and it took way longer than expected. But it really informed the style of embroidery that I now do.

The first piece I made in the series, using embroidered roses to literally make the Libra constellation. This was an excuse to try out a new technique for roses a learned from a fellow embroider, and then turned into a whole series.

Ruled by the moon I included a silver moon in between the blossoms of Larkspur, as well as stitching the flowers as the stars of the Cancer constellation. Which I did for many of the pieces in this series.
