Touch My Stitches #9: Feather Stitch

Day 249:  Week 3 of 52
Here is last week's stitch from the TAST Challenge.  I added little schools of fish swimming through my oceanscape scene.  I plan on adding some beading for the eyes as well.  


 The main part of the fish are worked with the Feather Stitch lazily swimming through the water.  And then I just filled in the parts that made them into fish with a different color thread. 

I am using 2 strand of floss in a variety of colors as I try to use up my thread scraps.

I love that I have a simple vision in mind for something and then it just seems to come together as I add new stitches.  I am a week behind in the TAST challenge and have to go work on Week 4 now so will share that this weekend.

What will you create today?
