Flamingo Embroidery

 You may remember back to the post where I introduced my Florida embroidery pattern.

I outlined and then filled the flamingo in Back Stitch. 

I used Satin Stitch for his eye and Double Knot Stitch for his wings:

For his legs, I used Blanket Stitch and Back Stitch, then I filled his feet in with Back Stitch:

I love these two motifs, I think they look wonderful together:

Here are the floss color numbers I used:
