WIP: travel altar

Planning on a double sided piece.  One side has my sigil and the other the kohenet sigil.

The Kohenet symbol is stitched in vine stitch with this amazing silk floss.  The word “kohenet’ in the center was transfered with brown Sulky pen and then inked over with a blue fountain pen.

Ketzirah’s sigil, on the left, is a pomegranate with the Hebrew letter Kuf in the center, and a honey bee in motion around it.  The pomegranate is done with a specialty floss that has an outer net layer and inner cord. The top is done with straight stitch, and the body of the pomegranate is couched with the net layer stretched out to create the shading.  Under the red is also red Sulky transfer pen coloring.

The bee is done with modified long/short stitch in the body in DMC “flower floss,” and backstitched wings with DMC metallic black.  The bee’s motion trail is french knots in 3 strand DMC cotton.
