The fabric is hand painted in acrylics and the stems are silk ribbon. The border is called detached bullion stitch and as I progressed around it got better. Practice!!

Comment by Shirley on May 23, 2012 at 2:43 Lovely Garden, I like the way you have used the ribbon for the stems, and those ferns look so nice. Your border is another great example of the bullion stitch Dianne. Love your painted fabric it is the perfect background for a garden scene.
A very lovely piece.
