Early Medieval Bird Illumination embroidery - update 3

 

Sitting in the car doing a bit of embroidery while husband has his hospital appointment .

               I made a very slow start on this leaf . I couldn't remember how best to do it !

It was cold and I forgot to bring my hot water bottle and warm blanket this time .

                              I muddled my way along with it !  

At home , later on , I finished the two leaves .

Me thinks they don't look too bad . 

I then made a start working the grape-vine stems in stem stitch .

 Illumination from manuscript known as the Sacramentaire de Gellone 780-800 - 8th century
