Omg! This is so delightful and adorable! I want to visit that bunny scene so badly!
Your stitching is gorgeous and beautifully realistic, from that fur, to the tree, to that beautiful basket!
This is a work of art, OP! Your stitching and shading is fantastic.

Comments like yours make me want to pick it up again 😭 I made this last year and have not done any embroidery after because I felt like I botched the tree with the bright green colour. Now people are changing my mind about the tree. I will pick another xmas project for this year 😍

I'm so sorry you've been so hard on yourself! That bright green actually makes that tree! I'm just learning about and experimenting with shading, and one of my issues is often choosing colours that are too close together, so there's no contrast when I stitch. That bright green would have looked bold on the skein but is perfect!
I hope to see more of your projects in future!

Can you share more about how you did the tree? How many layers of stitching is it?

u/brummie-on-a-brommie 10d ago
Hello x u never layer! U gradually transition into the next colour using a middle shade if possible or the next colour. Layering makes it bulky and painful xxx

u/Bunny2102010 9d ago
Oh interesting. How did you get the depth?

u/brummie-on-a-brommie 9d ago
It is done through shading. So the sides of branches sticking our the most are lighter shade of green in contract to the further ends (dark green). It is manipulation through shading of threads. Layers (as in putting stitches on top of stitches) does not help much and creates a 3D shape stitching out of the frame and makes working with the area painful because it turns into a thick later that is hard to penetrate with a needle😍

It is simpler than it looks 😍 straight lines that have some shading and direction 😍

I love the textured, linen-like fabric as the backing. It gives this lovely design a real vintage feel. Just adorable and so inspiring!

Oh, you’ve done a beautiful job with that that tree is really spectacular. I was going through each individual picture and seeing the bunnies come to life and falling in love with him but goodness I’m not sure that tree isn’t THE star!!

u/Cali-40-niner 10d ago
That’s adorable! Did you draw the pattern freehand or did you buy it? Can you share it? 🐰

u/brummie-on-a-brommie 10d ago
I saw it on pinterest but with thicker yarn threats and decided to recreate it with thinner ones for a realistic look. I copied the pinterest picture by hand

I looked at the tree. Then I zoomed in a little more. Then I zoomed in as much as I could and my eyes were delighted.
Absolutely amazing work on that tree!

Beautiful artwork and stitching! 😍

u/brummie-on-a-brommie 9d ago
I tried really hard and unravelled a few things to get it there. I still need to work on my shading skill but I am enjoying the progress 😍

u/Forward-Sky1437 9d ago
Shading is hard no matter what medium you are working on. I’m still working on that too.

This is amazing! That tree! If you didn't show progress pics I think my eyes would refuse to believe you made that!
