Zestaw do haftu krzyżykowego „Słoniątko”

“Elephant cub” is a cushion kit: a blue-grey elephant calf in a wreath of red poppies and pink flowers. Cover fabric is included.

What the picture shows

The calf is shown face-on: a large head with wide ears, a lowered trunk, closed smiling eyes and a blush on the cheeks. The body is blue-grey with soft transitions to a lighter tone on the ears and trunk. The wreath around it is built from red poppies, pink and white flowers, small buds and green sprigs; it is denser below and thins and opens at the top. A small white flower rests on the calf’s crown. The white fabric is left open, so the wreath reads as though painted in watercolour.
