I like doing raised embroidery
I haven't a lot of much of this, but I like it, if you use very thin wire and embroider thread and use the button hole stitch or blanket stick loosely it can make a very dainty leaf or flower.
You can find this on you tube or look up stump work or even Irish lace can give you some good ideas.
