Zestaw do haftu krzyżykowego „Słoń”

“Elephant” shows a grey elephant in an embroidered blanket carrying a basket of flowers.

What the picture shows

The elephant walks to the left with its trunk curled; the blanket on its back is built from coloured stripes and diamonds — red, blue, turquoise and ochre — and a woven basket full of small flowers stands on top. Butterflies flutter around it, and the words “Peace, Love & Flowers” are stitched to the left of its head. The light green canvas is left unstitched and works as the background. A few flowers and dots are picked out in Czech seed beads. Every diamond on the blanket is outlined in dark thread, so the pattern does not blur even from a distance.

A 150×150 mm miniature in fourteen colours in which the blanket pattern is the most interesting part to stitch.
