BUTTERFLY FAIRIES






BUTTERFLY FAIRIES:-

I have stitched two of them.. One representing the dawn and the other depicting the night.You can see the sun behind the day fairy as she wakes up to the bright dawn, while the night fairy rests serenely, sleeping on the leaf of a plant with the moon behind her.....Took one year each to complete them.I have pasted some crystals as well to represent the stars

ANGEL OF SPRING





ANGEL OF SPRING--Cross stitched on blue aida..Plenty of rice beads have been used to decorate the edges of the angel's costume.The violin stick is represented by a few strands of metallic threads stitched one over the other.It took more than a year to complete this beautiful angel flying about in the mid night blue sky daintily playing her violin.

BLESSINGS FROM CHERUBS





Cherubs are considered as members of the second order of angels, whose distinctive gift is knowledge, often represented as a winged child or winged head of a child..Here i have uploaded the pictures of three cherubs, i have cross stitched on off white aida.. A cherub sending a dove representing peace, another one bestowing the earth with rain and the third one playing a harp...They all looked so dainty in the pictures that i could not wait any longer to get them stitched and framed.Some beads are also used in the designs. Blue rice beads represent the cloud burst.They are also used to decorate the edges of the cherub's dress and the head ornament. Metallic threads have been used to depict the strings of the harp..Some metallic strands are also used to stitch the rain bowl.
