About this Skeleton Hand with Ivory Crescent Five Pumpkins and Autumn Spiderweb embroidery pattern

Skeleton Hand with Ivory Crescent Five Pumpkins and Autumn Spiderweb 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, ivory crescent, five pumpkins, three spiderwebs, acorns, berries, curled vines, autumn leaves and plum/gold stars.

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.
