X-Calibre Swans by Carol Leather

X-Calibre Swans. Blackwork styled Assisi Design.

X-Calibre Swans 

Traditionally Assisi embroidery is where the back ground of the picture is stitched, leaving the main motif(s) outlined but not stitched. This is called "voiding". 
In our design here, one half of the design is Assisi but the opposite half is done in traditional black work creating an interesting and well balanced picture.

This picture is stylistic and modern and can stand alone or be displayed next to "Dogs" and "Cats" and the finished design(s) look beautiful in any home.
