Stylized, over-scaled flowers like fancy carnations and multi-layered blossoms. Fancy exotic birds featuring sweeping, dynamic crests and elaborate tail feathers. Large, scrolling acanthus-like leaves packed internally with intricate patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA masterful mix of textures is created using a deep lexicon of traditional surface embroidery stitches. You can easily spot long-and-short stitch for the smooth color shading on the flower petals, stem stitch or split stitch defining the crisp vine and branch silhouettes, and dense seeding stitches or knots serving as textured structural infill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette relies heavily on soft, period-accurate natural vegetable dyes. Muted shades of ochre yellow, sage and olive greens, cream, and soft terracotta pink blend together with incredible, subtle transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would reccomend this embroidery be professionally stretched and mounted L, a service we offer at our textile conservation studio.
