ONL 175

Another design in a new series of rich and “splendid” patterns. I was inspired by antique silk brocade fabrics – the richness of color, the use of metallic threads, interwoven with the silks, the dimension of different weaving techniques – all this I tried to capture for this first one. I plan on having two designs for each color – one dark, one lighter.

This is the light blue – it pops on a black fabric but can as well be pastel and soft on any light background…

There are also a lovely set of Green Splendids if you are interested!

Here you can feed your inner queen with a glorious use of hand-dyed threads and metallics, diverse beads, and Swarovski crystals. The Special Stitches which are used besides the normal cross stitch give a nice texture and showcase wonderfully the flow of color of the variegated threads.

Size: The mere design size is 119 x 183 stitches.

Recommended Fabric: 16/32 or 14/28ct on white, black, maybe dark navy blue?
