OCF – ONL 040
With all the cultural artifacts, Greece surely is a country which has much to display. Landscapes, cities, museums – I had to contain myself to be able to put only a fraction of all these beauties into this Mandala !
Once finished, you will see the kaleidoscopic view from far away, resembling of a glazed tile – and the intricacy of stitches and motifs will get visible once you go nearer – and whilst stitching, of course !
Many beautiful different threads, silks, cottons and metallics are used, beads and crystals to highlight the embroidery. You will stitch some Special Stitches, all well explained with enlargeable diagrams.
Size: The mere design size is 351 x 351 stitches
Recommended Fabric: 16/32ct or 14/28ct white, cream or any color of your choice. Black will be stunning, a light yellow or very subtle light green too but I might not recommend any blue, to not take away from the radiant blues of the embroidery!
Materials: Deep Blue Sea Gloriana, Azure Skies Waterlilies, lots of Delica beads and crystals! Check the complete material list here.
