About this Ghost Moths Woodland Mushroom Wreath embroidery pattern
Ghost Moths Woodland Mushroom Wreath brings celestial and botanical details into a hand-embroidery composition. Study the colored design and outline together before choosing which shapes to shade, outline or simplify. The supplied guide identifies these motifs: Central white sheet ghost holding a jack-o'-lantern; arched moon phases; dark twig wreath with olive foliage and rust hips/berries; cream, tan and coral mushrooms; five moths; tiny ochre accent dots. Artwork reference - full composition, undistorted.
The colored image is a design reference. Thread, fabric and your stitch choices will affect the finished result. Preserve the open spaces around the smaller motifs and test difficult fills on a spare piece of fabric before stitching the main design.

Stitch the handle thin and flat; add the tiny radiating gold lines after the fill. 4. FOLIAGE + MUSHROOM GROUPS Fishbone leaves in 3012/3011 with 832 on lit edges; keep each leaf base-to-tip. Shape coral caps in 3859 with darker undersides, tan/cream caps in 3864/3782, and radiate gill stitches from stems. 5.
