Day 18: Ladybug Doodle Stitching Embroidery

i'm starting a bigger project today... that will consist of lots of little ones.
the goal is to fill up the front of a totebag with little creepy critters all embroidered by hand. so, today i started with a little ladybug pattern i got from the book, Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection.

i traced the pattern on the bag using a mechanical pencil (without lead) and some carbon paper.  it did a pretty good transfer.

the bag is a pretty thick canvas, so it took me a while to get the stitching done.   but it looks pretty good.
