Tree of Creation Cross Stitch Pattern - SHB-025

• Pattern for counted cross stitch • Includes key for floss use and fabric suggestions • 332 stitches wide by 380 stitches tall • Does not include fabric or floss Just look at this masterpiece of Celtic art! The border around the Tree tells a fascinating story. It begins with Celtic knotwork at the bottom, symbolizing paths toward growth, a journey. The vines at the corners represent Mother Nature's influence, and are followed by animals, and finally humans. The peacocks near the top carry souls to heaven after death, and the heavens themselves are filled with brilliant spirals, symbolizing both Nature as a whole, as well as the Spirit and the Mind. The Tree of Creation Cross Stitch Pattern is based on artwork by Cari Buziak. The design measures 332 stitches wide by 380 stitches high. The cross stitch pattern spans 33 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.
