The backstitch on this has an amazing effect, the blossoms look so delicate!

I really love japanese designs. I went to Japan twice and fell in love with the country and now I just love anything japanese. I have quite a few japanese designs in my stash and your beautiful picture has made me want to do a geisha next. Really lovely work, well done

Beautiful. The outlining really brings out the details.

Finished!!!! Yiphee, Although I feel a little sad, I feel like I have given a part of myself to this project, if that makes sense. Here are the pictures, I included some close ups so you can see the cording that outlines the inner edge of the kimono. On the face there are some twisted lazy daisy stitches. I found these really hard and wasn't a hundred percent happy them but from a distance it all looks good. I also included a photo of my fathers 'fathers day' card that I mentioned in a post. Posting on here and everyone's positive comments have really helped me move along with this

Wow it's gorgeous! I know what you mean about being sad about being done though too! You spend all this time putting all this effort into something and it's a great achievement but a little sad at the same time because you no longer get to stitch it! It really is beautiful though and you should be so proud!

That is gorgeous, the backstitching really does bring the detail out but I love the effect of the folds of the kimono - stunning
