Ribbon embroidery of flowers, Christmas gift for @mariusperkins

The idea for this project was a message of friendship and love and encouragement, in the Victorian language of flowers. I did my best to represent them as realistically as I could, so they’d be recognizable, and I chose the flowers I did for their Victorian meanings.

I’ll start with the overall and the biggest flowers, but there are more close-ups to come!
