Gorjuss: Fairy Dusk

The Gorjuss girl hovers in a dusky pink and lilac sky, ringed by silver stars with flowers below her. It is worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, but the Aida is printed in full colour: having the picture under the stitches makes it easier to keep your place, especially across the soft shaded areas. A little back stitch and a single French knot finish the details.

The beads, sequins and metallic thread go on last and catch the light on the stars. You will also need a hoop or frame and small scissors; the frame shown is not included, so the finished piece can be framed or mounted on a padded board.
