I've stitched another design from the book I posted about before. My choice was (no surprise here) - an orchid, which happened to be a floral emblem of Queensland, one of Australia's states - Cooktown Orchid.
Так она выглядит на чудесной иллюстрации Vera Scarth-Johnson (1912-1999):
This is a wonderful illustration by Vera Scarth-Johnson (1912-1999):
This is how Cooktown orchid looks in its natural habitat (the photo is taken from here):
А это две вышивки вместе - мне очень нравятся цвета, лен тот же - 40ct, cream, в одну ниточку ДМС.
Both flowers together - same 40ct linen, one DMC thread over two.
Хорошего вам дня!!
Have a nice day!!
