Embroidered leaf ring

New ring in my shop Skrynka. I've made an experiment with this ring. Linen fabric and silk threads embroidery was covered with varnish. Although I do not recommend to put it in water entirely, it can jostle away unwanted drops of water as well as dust.
The question of pollution of fabric of textile jewelry was pointed long ago. And finally I've made some steps to solve the problem!

Be Patriot!

I've missed 4th of July cause I was at hospital with my little son. Don't want to borrow you with circumstances. He is very good now!
I always thought about myself as I'm the patriot. You can see it in my ethnic Ukrainian designs. But this Spring I've made patriotic collection with flags. I've made few countries, but like that can be made almost every flag.
All flags available as necklace, ring, bracelet and pin at Skrynka.

Tutorial: How to make an ideal back for your cross stitch

For some project the ideal back is very important. Recently I've made a custom order with handkerchiefs. Of course, the back side must be perfect, you can't hide one side of handkerchief and don't show it anyone.
So here the tutorial how I made it.
You'll need very thin needle. I used needle for beading for smallest beads. If you find it hard to stitch with this needle for the start you can use the regular one. I stabbed my fingers with it, it is not the funniest thing.

 

Start you embroidery leaving the end of the thread on the front side in the upper left corner of cross stitch:

Hide it beneath your next stitches:

Stitch all pattern or before you have 10 cm thread. If you use regular needle it is time to cut the thread near eye of needle and take the thin one.

Very carefully thread the needle under few stitches:

Extend the needle and all thread:

And cut the thread carefully near the stitch:

Now your front and back sides looked perfect:

And here is finished design:

Good luck with crafting!
