I decided to take a small brake from the large embroidered bookbinding project to embroider something for the Easter, and decided on this canvaswork egg. The design is from a very talented canvaswork designer Laura Perin. I used 100% linen threads in natural colors: honey, beige, mossy green, sunshine yellow, brown. The white thread which forms the squares at the bottom half of the egg and the inside portion of the frame is a common household linen thread! It varies greatly in thickness, and appears impossible to use in embroidery. But for this project it works perfectly, and I had such fun using it!
