About this Skeleton Hand with Golden Crescent Sage Smoke and Celestial Stars embroidery pattern

Skeleton Hand with Golden Crescent Sage Smoke and Celestial Stars brings celestial and gothic 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: Skeleton hand, ornate golden crescent, flowing sage/ivory smoke ribbons, gold/rust/ivory stars, dotted celestial clusters and small constellation-like line marks.

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.
