Pistil stitch

                    What else could I make but a flower of this stitch

                         - it is so botanical - the pistil of flowers.

                It is week 37 of Tast2012. I am sure others will come up

                with quite different and wonderful ideas - here is the link
                                    to the Flickr Tast group

 

 

 

 

I used floss (3 threads) and perlé (8) from red to yellow

with bugle beads in the middle
