Plastic Canvas Love Embroidery

Plastic Canvas Love Embroidery  (1)
In a 9” Plastic Canvas (also known as craft mesh) I completed this work using embroidery stitches, different colors of ribbons  and white beads.
In this work, I used the basic chain stich with blue and yellow  color yarns and green color tread. Chain Stitch is one of the most ancient of stitches. It is a versatile hand embroidery stitch that can be used to outline and to fill spaces. There are many variations on the stitch --- Open chain stitch, Double chain stitch, Heavy chain stitch, Rosette chain stitch, Cable chain stitch,Raised chain stitches, Crested chain stitch, Checkered chain stitch, ----and many more.
