Flowers from the Sea
CROSS STITCH PATTERN DESIGNED BY Barbara Ana Designs
From the bottom of the ocean, the little mermaid aspires to rise to the surface, towards light and the world of humans.
She has composed a splendid bouquet of corals and seaweed, as a gift for her beloved. The flowers and basket are oversized, as if the little mermaid had to make a big effort to swim against the current (notice her necklace and hair pulled backwards) and bring her gift to the surface, such a pretty allegory of love.
There are two dominant colors in the cross stitch pattern, designed by Barbara Ana; Aqua blue and ginger, like the mermaid's hair.
The underwater world is suggested with the delicate lace of Quaker mini motifs that occupy the background of the embroidery.
The round design can be framed in an embroidery hoop 25 cm/10 inch in diameter.
