A-Mazing Lavender Garden Caleidoscope

This is something new: A round garden with lots of Mandala features but in a rounded shape. Like a maze, or a caleidoscope. A base of muted greens is highlighted by soft and stronger lavender colors, a few purples, and matching glass beads. Different threads like soft silks and coarser metallics will add to the structure of your stitching, making this a dimensional and tactile work of embroidery. Many flowerbeds ask for Special Stitches, Crystals and beads. There are lots of tiny places of intricacy while you work with the variegated silks, DMC cottons, metallic braids and finally do your embellishing with beads and crystals. The mere design size of this one is 239 x 239 stitches.
