Trying out the idea of a Doodles and Tangles with contrasting textures. Varigated green stranded thread for Algerian Eye filling, and borders. Pekinese St using wire out of the back of Ruth's old computer, ribbon off a present, green and cream embroidery ribbon from Bev.
Added Cast On Stitch Butterfly, and French Knot and Stem Stitch lilac Budlia.

Didn't like the design balance so changed the butterfly. Don't like the new butterfly quiiiite as much as the other.
Then to finish put Oyster Stitch in the other circle, Straight Stitch and Detached Chain Stitch round the edges. Design learning curve - if something is going to be off centre perhaps best more off centre rather than looking like it should have been centre but missed. Pleased to have got the hang of oyster stitch - had thought it a most obstreperous stitch simply for stitchers to show off, but it was me had got it wrong :-)
