Here is another view of Olive...

I used 7mm no. 90 silk ribbon for the wings and added bits of silky fibre for a feathery effect.
I used green silk organza fabric for the leaves and outlined the edges in back stitch.
The branch was made with bamboo yarn, which I twirled to form the texture.
The music notes and detail on Olive: I used Rajmahal and DMC thread and stem, back and straight stitch.

I really did enjoy this project!
Remember that OLIVE is also eligible for the international Silk Ribbon Embroidery Competition 2012
I have almost completed “keep a green tree in your heart” and will share her with you in the weeks to come...
