I'm going to add a lot more little blossoms until the whole piece flourishes. My fingers are actually getting sore. It's a good pain. ; ) I discovered that I really like using beeswax with embroidery floss. I use it all the time when binding quilts. On embroidery floss, one run over the wax really keeps the thread tangle free and smooooth.
I sat all day at my sewing table under many full spectrum lights. It was weird to have to turn on lightbulbs in the day! Then around supper time, the sun got low enough to cause some pretty glow... so out I dashed with my camera! I drove out to my favorite spot and snapped away.

Gorgeous skies - love the blue in the last one. Glad to see you use beeswax - our bees approve :)
Monika. Your artwork is amazing! It has taken my breath away.
Where did you get that beewax???
Awe thanks! In the past I've just bought a pure beeswax tealight candle and kept it in a ziploc bag. I found this chunk at a health food store amongst the candle display. It's not a candle. Isn't it pretty!? : )

Love the stitching so far , looks fantastic :-) Thanks for the tip on the beeswax , hadn't thought of using it with embroidery floss .Those skies are amazing!!
I've never waxed my embroidery floss, either. Interesting idea! I've started using Perle 8 in balls instead of floss - no more separating strands!
Gorgeous, gorgeous photos! I'll have to get my daughter to try beeswax with some beading she's trying.
