Oyster #30

 oyster stitches...these are lovely to work with, and I am so thankful that I can keep learning new stitches thanks to Sharon at pintangle, and Take a Stitch Tuesday.
 I worked these in pearl cotton 8, 5, cotton floss and cotton broder.....
...and added some bullion knots here and there...as I stitched, I kept thinking of how the oyster - a living organism - creates a gem - pearls- by way of irritation...and am reminded of  matthew 13:45-46
God's creation is so wonderful! and His salvation by grace through faith in Lord Jesus Christ...He is the Only Way, the truth and the life

    The colours give this a crispness and the combination of the stitch works so well.

    Thank you for commenting on my oyster stitch. I draw the pattern (free hand) first on fabric and then do the stitching.
