ONL 176
This Mandala celebrates the Irish heritage, landscape and castles – lots of green meadows and bushes, livestock in “over-one” and immense detail. Just look at the wishing well in the center ! It sparkles abundantly with crystals and beads.
You find Celtic Crosses as well as Roses of Tralee, The castles (clockwise) of Rock of Cashel, Ashford Castle, Malahide Castle and Kilkenny Castle.
A beautiful border in blues of skies and sea as well as greens of this particular island surrounds the piece – and in the corners you have the choice to stitch the Celtic knots soft and rounded or more angled (The latter version is only available in the download PDF here from my website as a special goodie !)

Many Special Stitches will make this piece dimensional, different threads of cotton and silk are used together with a basket full of beads and crystals.
Size: The overall size of the mere design is 347 x 347 stitches.
Recommended Fabric: I recommend a 14/28 count fabric due to the parts over-one and the beading in the very center. White, black, or a light airy blue?
