Here is a cat I'm making(wisp) using satin/long and short. This is about 3 inches wide. I really enjoy this type of embroidery as you can stitch layer upon layer to get the right color effect. Also, once you get the main lines embroidered, you can just "wing it". I untwisted button-hole twist, so it's done with a third of a strand of that. It's not yet finished - did you notice he has no whiskers?
Happy Stitching,

That's a wonderfully life-like cat! Beautiful work. I love your embroidery!
Wonderful work with the long and short stitch. The cat seems so real that I'd like to know what his eyes are focused on.
What a precious cat! You are making it come to life.
Lovely work! I seems real!
Lovely work. Real 'thread painting'!
That cat is wonderful Lin. Real artistry there.
Wow, that is impressive! I thought at first it was a photo...
