sample of hand embroidery stitched on linen in hand dyed threads

This sampler is worked on hand painted and printed linen. It was an experiment. Stitches used are French knots, Bullion stitch, whipped spiders wheel and threaded running stitch. I also couched some threads by machine. Threads used are wool, cotton and silk all hand dyed by me and beads were incorporated.
