The highlight of this magnificent Celtic piece is an ancient leaf-bladed sword, forged in light, and charged with power. Now take a moment to look more closely at the details surrounding the weapon. Do you see the birds and beasts that have been cleverly concealed in the pattern? If you're sharp-eyed, you'll spot bulls, boars, horses and ravens. The subtle shades of bronze and gold stand out in stark contrast to the jet black background, creating a tapestry rich in symbolism and meaning.
The Warrior Cross Stitch Pattern is based on artwork by Jen Delyth. The design measures 400 stitches wide by 560 stitches high. The cross stitch pattern spans 42 pages, and is printed double-sided, on unbound sheets in a clear plastic bag for protection. There is a color picture of the completed chart on the front page. The pattern itself is graphed in black and white symbols, and a table showing the DMC colors you'll need is included. This is a massive project that will provide you with many hours of enjoyment. It is not the best choice for beginners, but for the experienced stitcher, this will be an exciting challenge. Copyright - Heaven and Earth Designs, Inc.
