Sailing silently through the silvery clouds, the Swans ponder to themselves with their own quiet thoughts, watching as the land below slides past. They are off to find a new place to call home and will know it when they see it but for now they continue on their way, gracefully gliding through droplets of mist and over the lapping waves of the sea.
The hoop is finished on the back with a circle of white acrylic felt and a signed tag and is ready to hang on your wall, prop on your bookcase or display on a mini easel or plate stand. (Easel in photos not included.)
The embroidery has been created using layers of pre-printed cotton fabrics which have then been embellished with intricate hand stitches to create a beautifully textured piece. Metallic silver strands have been used to highlight the clouds and varying tones of grey and white keep this piece wonderfully neutral with just a splash of orange to pop out.
There may be loose threads at the edges of this piece which have been intentionally left as part of the artist's appreciation of the nature of the fabrics.
The hoop size is a 12cm/5" embroidery hoop which has the following outer dimensions:
Outer Hoop 13.5cm wide by 14cm high (including the hoop's screw)
Hoop Depth 1.5cm
