Work along the top of the stocking below the cuff has reached the half-way mark. The vines are filled with Vineyard Silk Classic Bark and Kreinik #12 tapestry braid 002V in tent stitches and basketweave. The tassel in the center uses the same threads in an encroaching Gobelin stitch.
One bird has been stitched so far, using the same white and gray Silk Lame Braid for 18 ct. and in the same encroaching Gobelin stitch used for the angel's wings. I'll add the bird's eye and beak later when the other bird is finished.
I'll need to get more Kreinik thread to finish this section as well as some thread to work the angel's hair. Then the canvas will move one more time on the stretcher bars so I can work on the cuff.

There's great contrast between the gold and the brown on the leaves.
