About this Raven Candle Lunar Rose Wreath embroidery pattern
Raven Candle Lunar Rose 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: A lit taper and metallic holder sit left of the bird. The outer bramble wreath carries burgundy roses, rosebuds, berries and cool gray-green leaves. Light & value: Brightest values occur in the candle body, flame, moon crescents and metallic highlights. Deepest values sit in the raven, berry clusters and rose shadows. Embroidery approach: Establish the vine framework first, then complete the raven and candle before adding roses, foliage, lunar symbols and gold accents.
