I decided to experiment with stitching on the flower. Not sure what to call the stitch as I just made it up, but basically it's weaving with thread.

Turkish Embroidery
In Turkey "textiles of all kinds were so closely connected with the Turkish way of life, embroidery was produced and used at every level of society, from the most exalted to the humblest. Whether made for a sultan or a peasant, it added color and beauty to everything from military campaign tents to the most delicate hand towel. " It seems to have been/and is an activity that men and women were/are involved with, on a national scale including for example " army personnel was also known to be making embroideries."Oh man, check out this gallery of Ottoman Work.
