Day 21: Finally a start on embroidery

I'm actually not a great fan of classical embroidery as my grandmother plaged me with cross stitch. But as i do like textiles and turning my drawings into textiles so i have been wanting to work on my skills for a while now.
I found this book on embroidery techniques in a charity shop and as we are away and i don't have acess to my studio i had a little go at it today.
Not with great results but still i learned two things i couldn't do before: french knot and stem stitch. So i'm happy:)
