    I decided to try another blackwork pattern! I found a bunch of tarot card patterns over at circlecross.net so I will be working on that for a while. I managed to get most of the border done so far!

      This is super cool! I’ve been playing this game that has some really pretty tarot cards and I was thinking about maybe embroidering some, but the blackwork really works for this.

        Thanks! I’ve been working on it here and there throughout the day and I’m thinking I may start over and do single strand instead. The double strand looks good on the borders but now that I’m stitching the figure it’s starting to look too cartoony

          You could always leave the border as is and switch for the figure. What you have here looks great, and there’s nothing wrong with different strands for different parts of the design, I don’t think.

            Since I posted the picture I’ve already done a lot of the main figure with two strands, so for now I’m going to keep it going and see if it looks better once I fill in more details. I think I may start a second one with two strands just on the borders and see which one looks better

        I may have picked one that is overly ambitious for my second time doing this kind of stitching, but that seems to be a theme with me lol

        I will definitely post updates!
