#021 The Green Earth
Fourth in the "Four Elements" series
The Green Earth is the last of the Four Elements
Series. When I started, I decided against the colour brown for
"earth"! It seemed that the many hues and shades of green would illustrate
the concept of our bountiful earth so much more beautifully! Like Crystal Waters,
the Green Earth is worked on pure white linen and features Hardanger hills backed with
green, atop bands of hemstitching in conical shapes, pulled thread, various stitches that
look like trees and leaves, and finally, a gently rolling Bargello hillside. There
are petite sparkling gold beads, pearly white beads, and apple green accent
beads. Gold metallic threads add contrast to this verdant sampler.
Stitch it to capture your memories of walks, drives and picnics in the peaceful valleys of
our wonderful green earth. |
