One of the key rules is that you work from the back to the front. You split stitch the petal that's furthest away from you and then you fill it before you move on to the next one. And you only split stitch that part of the petal that's free and not over-lapped by a further to the front petal. For your next petal, your splitstitch will cover the ends of your filling stitches where the second petal overlaps the first. Sounds complicated, but makes sense. This way your pieces will gain depth.

Your whitework is beautiful. <br />Silk shading is one of those things which takes practice - I'll be sure to pass on all the tips I get from the RSN for you! A nice set of pencils is a good idea I find. You don't need many, as you can just colour darker and lighter, but it does help in understanding your piece.<br />Have fun with it!Catherine - Hillview Embroideryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304961505122691043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213240850696097245.post-71813752067365920842017-08-15T14:23:18.957-04:002017-08-15T14:23:18.957-04:00Yes, colouring in a drawing of the design is much,...Yes, colouring in a drawing of the design is much, much easier than flipping from a drawing to a key and back again.
