Sparkling Swan

This design showcases "Jugendstil" like (ArtNouveau) Swans in stylized reeds, surrounded by bending leafs and scrolls. Many shades of white will be used, different weights of threads, metallic and silk braids, variegated flosses and such. Parts of this design will be delicately embellished by beads and crystals, backstitching, cross stitches and special stitches which create interest and dimension. Each SWAN will be differently colored in whites and pastels to make the stitching more pleasant!Specialty Threads:8 skeins Caron Collection Waterlilies8 cards Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid (includes PB 48)19 cards Rainbow Gallery Petite Silk Lame 2 skeins Dinky-Dyes Silks3 skeins Dinky Dyes Silk Perle Gloriana Threads:6 skeins Gloriana Threads Silks3 skeins Gloriana Princess Perle PetiteBead Pack:12 colors Delica Beads5 colors Swarovski BiconesAqua AB Heart10mm Flowers Suggested Fabric:28" x 28" Black Belfast
