TAST 16 & BEYOND TAST 16

 TAST 16 -CORAL STITCH

This is a new stitch to me.  I feel good to learn new stitches.  I tried working out this stitch, with threads of different thickness.  I imagined, an awe struck sea turtle swimming around a coral reef and stitched it.  :)-  .

This stitch follows around the curve very well. 

                                                     

BEYOND TAST 16  - WRAPPED CORAL STITCH

This is a variation of the coral stitch which creates a knotted outline.  I tried stitching a flower with this stitch.
