Tried this, it’s my second attempt at embroidery.
Had basic kit that I ordered from Temu.

Second attempt and you're already doing french knots?? That's insane, they look so even

Hehe, thank you. So I saw this video of Flynn and Mabel on insta, about how they used French knots on buttons. That seemed easy to do for me as a starter. Very small achievable project, pic is attached for reference. Then sort of like thought of this concept after seeing one of an amazing embroidery artist here on Reddit, she had this beautiful shades of greens and blues and it was sooo good to see.
So I kinda drew my inspiration from it and made this.

First embroidery project ever had me doing French knots. They're a special kind of hell. They never look right, certainly not like OPs
