Grasshopper

Did you know that some people actually eat grasshoppers? Not this one--he's climbing up the border of my Oaxaca Tree of Life design. Besides, he's too pretty to eat! Looks like he's about ready to hop over one of the branches!

Grasshopper
His legs are a combination of Floss Overdye, Trebizon, and Kreinik Metallic; the body is Couched Long Stitches with Neon Rays and Kreinik Metallic; a single Sundance Bead is used for the eye! I love him. His name is Diego.

    The grasshopper is an inspired selection of stitches! I had to print off the photo to keep as a reminder of how you did him. I also like the use of memory thread superimposed on the border.
