My first real go at embroidery.
This is a crane headed man based on a 16thc woodcut.
It was widely believed for centuries that such a creature existed, eitehr on its own or in tribes, based in unexplored countries - initially india and asia and then later the americas.

Very good for a first try. How many threads were you using? The floss comes in 6 and I usually use 2/3. I think it's called satin stitching... but it is my favorite. Very time consuming though.

I used strands of 3. (mainly because I couldn't get all 6 through my needle eye lol) but I think I like the thickness at that :)
