Ideas
Loose flower garden
Loose flowers placed around the canvas with subtle absurdities hidden within
Half and half with structured flowers placed on the top and absurdities/wilted/messy flowers on the bottom
Structured flower garden
flowers connected to the bottom of the canvas with stems attached to give more structure, body parts sprinkled throughout to enhance the idea that though everything may look perfect at first glance there's a lot hidden beneath the surface
Stitches to use
For flowers
Lavender: Lazy daisy stitch for the petals, back stitch for the stems.
Rose: Woven wheel stitch for the rose itself, backstitch for the leaves
Loose petals : French knots
Hydrangeas: French knots for the petals and backstitch for the stems and leaves
Materials
Embroidery thread/floss
Many different sizes of embroidery needles
An embroidery hoop
Scissors to cut thread
Aida cloth
Colours
Flowers (alive)
I want the garden to look semi-realistic and the best way to do this is via colours as the shapes won't always turn out as expected but colours will always turn out as expected and will look the same on the woven fabric as it does by itself just as floss as it can't mix with other colours or be affected by them like paint can.
The wilting dead flowers underneath
These ones, similarly to the alive ones I want to mimic the colour schemes of the real version of these wilting flowers to keep it as semi-realistic as possible since the design of the flowers and how they'll sit on the canvas will be quite sporadic so the colour scheme needs to be kept as realistic as possible
For these I also want to taint them with blood, this could be done with paint or more reddish embroidery thread. The colour of the thread has to also mimic dried blood so an appropriate colour of thread must be found, the affect could be more prominent if red paint was used instead as this would look more li blood than thread could ever on such a small surface.
