Scotland Mandala
This is a true Highland Mandala! Tiny Nessie in the Loch -“ sheep galore and Scottish cattle! I have a Border Collie some place which I still need to let loose to herd the sheep.
Stylized Thistles and Roses and the meadow flowers too. In the center is a Triscele, an ancient Celtic Symbol, but from there the design develops into Martina's trademark Mandala.
This design is full of whimsical extras you will discover in the stitching process and impressive larger motives. Four castles as a main focus point on each side, Eilean Donan, Glengorm, Menzies, and Inveraray, surrounded by various and typical Scottish cottages. Sprays of Heather embellish the corners, and Thistles and Roses build a delicate border.
The Hadrians Wall was interpreted into rows of Special Stitches 'Stones' which create the delicate and strong diagonal ends of the design. Last but not least an inner border of Tartan chequered fabric gives the very special 'taste' of the Highlands.
