| Closed Base Needlework Picot |
I think I made a few that were just Woven Picots (re Mary Thomas's Dictionary) - base was spread further apart and therefore much easier to find the outer and middle thread to weave through. It is also easier to complete with Pearl cotton #5 thread than the #12 or 2-strands of floss! But I could not get the final product to look as detailed (and as cob on the corn appearance...) as Sharon B at TAST (check here for instruction) or The Embroidery Handbook - practice, practice, practice.

I think the thread 'makes' this stitch; some turn your leaves into beautiful corncobs others make the leaves flat and uninteresting. The TAST challenge is a good opportunity to learn!
nice piece of work.
