Today is a test peice of a mushroom stem

A wonderful friend sent me a piece of net as I couldn’t find some I had already and I tried it over the embroidery on a mushroom stem and it gives it a slubby honeycomb look, that I couldn’t do in embroidery, despite several tries. Its easy to do too, just cut to size and couch down

I thought I have to cover edges to fit it in but it blends in easily. I can colour this white easily too, done it before for lace work.
