Dragonflies with metallic silver wings dart over the lilypad encrusted pond, pausing every now and then on a water lily to bask in the sunshine. Bullion knot reeds line the edges and beyond are beautiful gardens, full of texture and different embroidery stitches, invite you to wander further.
This piece is full of stories and whimsical fun with these lovely Lewis & Irene printed waterlilies. A fantastic talking point that would look amazing on any mantlepiece or wall with tiny metallic french knot bubbles and dragonfly wings that catch the eye.
The hoop is finished on the back with a circle of white acrylic felt and a logo sticker and is ready to hang on your wall, prop on your bookcase or display on a mini easel or plate stand (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.
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 20cm/8" embroidery hoop which has the following outer dimensions:
Outer Hoop 21.5cm wide by 22cm high (including the hoop's screw)
Hoop Depth 1.5cm
