SAL Kantha Embroidery

iam posting my 1st SAL kantha Embroidery sampler which i learnt from Anita's Artisticfingers..this is for my 'tablet' cover which is 10×7'' in size..iam using 2 strands here..after doing many more trial and error method i have ended up with this sample..here i have uploaded 2 pics including a reverse side as well..in my opinion reverse side always helps us to understand the way of stitching easily..i know practice makes perfect..so i did challenge and hope it turned out not bad..iam awaiting your feedbacks..i got interested to do this SAl and waiting for next lesson:)..thank you so much anita for your great generous attitude of sharing a wonderful art..

here goes my Kantha embroidery work so far..

Dove Orchid!

Dove inside a flower ♥! kids are always wondering seeing this dove!why kids,i myself love to watch the dove for a longer time..this is the 3rd time my orchid flowers..everymorning i keep my eyes open eagerly waiting to see the hidden dove when the flower blooms..even its beak looks real isn't? and so also the wings! :) i feel excited and wanted to take its photograph and also like to share with all of you through my blog..i took it from my mobile hence not so clear as i expected.. here goes those beautiful snaps of dove orchids from my garden..
