Stitched a bit today

Stitched a couple of bits cut from a piece of fabric onto some silk.  One is simple applique and the other is  lightly stuffed.

Simple chain stitching around each and joined with three thread wrapped stitches.

Above on the seam are some raised bullion stitches and some French knots..

I love the light in the first two... makes the silk look so rich and  golden doesn't it?  It's just barely off white really.....
