Kantha Embroidery - Dhaneer Sheesh in leaf

 Hi all

Hope all are staying safe and doing good.  Yesterday I have posted the tutorial for working dhaneer sheesh stitch in arrow shape.  Today I am going to show how to apply that stitch to a leaf.  

Start with a leaf structure and draw some lines slantingly as shown in the picture below.   We are going to stitch the area marked with black lines.  

  

Start from the centre of the leaf and complete any one portion. After completing half of the leaf it will look like as shown.

Now complete the other portion. and the leaf with dhaneer sheesh looks like below.

Now work the outline of the stitch in Paichano or whipped running stitch.  A completed leaf look like the one below.

Soon I will post a design to work on dhaneer sheesh arrow in leaf.  Till then have a nice time.
