The silk organza is dyed and layered over fabrics like vintage silk kimono fabric and linen and cotton. I dyed it and rusted it, and now I'm stitching it quite a bit...
Anyway, this photo here shows the front.

Sometimes I think I should do some work that only shows all the crazy stitching against that white linen backing I use. It just looks so wonderfully obsessive to me...
I usually tie three knots to each end...three seems like a good number. (hey at least I'm not checking the stove over and over, right?) Then, once all my stitching is done, I'll iron some stabilizer onto the back to secure the knots and threads even more.
