Sounds of Nature

A stream running down through the trees, with white and orange flowers along the banks and light filtering through the branches: a landscape full of colour changes, worked in counted cross stitch following the symbolic chart. The 35 shades come presorted on an organiser, which helps to keep track of the blends in the foliage and the water.

The fabric is white and unprinted, so it is best to mark the centre and start from there; a hoop or frame and good light make a piece of this size easier to handle. The frame is not included: once finished, the embroidery can be framed, with or without a mount, or mounted on a board.
