When I said I'd continue stitching colour wheels until I was stopped, I meant it. Blackwork embroidery on black 14-count Aida cloth.

A total of 17 thread colours across 24 sections, each with its own fill motif.

Waistcoat

c.1620-1625

England

The high waistline and narrow sleeves, open at the front seam, are characteristic of women's waistcoats of the early 1620s. The blackwork embroidery is of exquisite quality and is worked in a continuous pattern throughout the body of the garment. A group of interlocking curling stems enhanced with a garden of roses, rosebuds, peapods, oak leaves, acorns, pansy and pomegranates, with wasps, butterflies and birds, make up the embroidery design. The extremely fine speckling stitches create the shaded effect of a woodblock print. This style of blackwork is typical of the early seventeenth-century and thought to have been inspired by the designs from woodblock prints that the embroiderers were using. The waistcoat is unlined and embellished with an insertion of bobbin lace in black and white linen at the back of each sleeve, and a edging of bobbin lace in the same colours.

6 down, 10 more to go 💪

Finished last night. Unlike my more geometric colour wheels, this one isn't separated into strict sections. In order to keep the transitions between colours as smooth as possible, the gradient areas had to be worked over a wedge shape. It took a bit of math and some adjustments while designing it, but the stitching itself was no more complicated than my other blackwork gradients.
