A very good friend of mine asked me to make here an Oleander Flower belt favor with 2 flowers. Oleander Flowers are awards given out to female fighters at Estrella War. For every year you fight at war you get to add another flower.
To be honest one of the most difficult part of this was to actually find the correct design, and also what was allowed. Most Oleander Flower tokens are done in cross-stitch, but I wanted to do something more “period”. So in the end I made one using long-short stitch and satin stitch – in silk on silk. Other than the “O” somehow coming out totally wonky I am very happy with how it turned out.
It is in the mail now, and will hopefully arrive in time to be presented to her.
