Here you can stitch a collection of impressive pictures of desert landscapes animals and flora. Typical colors of the South-West together with stylisized patterns of Native Americans give a warm and “desert-y” feeling. Beautiful shades in silk, variegated and solid with other interesting threads, beads, crystals – all is used to create this stitched piece of a wonderful landscape.
Cross stitch is the base – embellished with Special Stitches, all well explained by Diagrams – Backstitching emphasizes and adds detail with patterns of Blackwork..
The mere design size of this piece is 316 x 316 stitches
