About this Ghostly Skull Teacup with Witch Hat Mushrooms Crystals and Autumn embroidery pattern
Ghostly Skull Teacup with Witch Hat Mushrooms Crystals and Autumn brings celestial and woodland 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: Skull teacup with three ghosts; purple witch hat; red and blue mushrooms; faceted crystals; twisted autumn vines; crescent moons, starbursts and an outer ring of mushrooms and crystals.
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.
