Orchid embroidery
This is my very first try with orchid embroidery  I started embroidering only a month ago, when we went on a roadtrip, and this was my way to fill time while my husband was at a conference.
He got this bag at the conference and it had some ugly beads on it, so I decided to have some fun with it.
For some reason I had a massive brain fart and decided to embroider directly onto the bag, which I couldn't stretch properly, so now it's all curvy. I actually like it a lot, gives it a bit more interest
And of course, it had to be a Zygo, it's my zygo-psycho bag  It's not perfect, but I love it Next one will be better. |

Lovely! Needlepoint,crewel and such is a great hobby and was done by by mom,aunt and myself for quite a while. You may have a budding career as long as the orchids don't get neglected!

Thank you everyone!
DeaC - There is no way - my brain can't even understand if you put words like 'neglect' and 'orchids' in one sentence! Thankfully, orchids take their time in growing and this fills the spare time well! |

That's beautiful! Great job! Yeah, if you have the time, you could certainly sell a few of these. If I saw something unique and orchid-related at a craft fair, I would buy it, no hesitation!
