Description

A close-up portrait: the intense gaze of a woman wrapped in a red veil embroidered with gold, wearing a gold headpiece and earrings. The subtle shading on the skin and the fabric means frequent colour changes, so this is a project for stitchers with some experience of counted cross stitch who enjoy a striking finished piece.

On 27 count evenweave the design is usually worked over two fabric threads, with two strands of stranded cotton for the crosses and one for any backstitch outlines; a hoop or frame helps keep the fabric taut. The frame shown in the photo is not included: once finished, the piece is best professionally mounted with a mount board, which suits its horizontal format.
