Mistletoe Gold, 12 x 17cm
Machine Embroidery on Calico, Vintage Frame.
Mistletoe is synonymous with the festive season, but mistletoe is often omitted from Christian decorations due to it's association with Paganism.
There are over 900 species of mistletoe worldwide, but the species Viscum Album is the only one native to the UK.
This piece is created by guiding fabric under the sewing machine needle by hand, drawing the image in thread.
This piece is not suitable for hanging, and has a scratch on the glass but is hard to notice.
