This is a needle painting that I embroidered with DMC cotton thread and some real silk that my mum gave to me .
The Angel's robe is the real silk ....very tricky to stitch with . Oh and the incense thurible is stitched with a gold metalic thread .
The idea came from a stained glass window designed by William Morris in 1882 . The window is in the Church of St Peter and St Paul, Cattistock in Dorset .
I enjoyed every minute of stitching this Angel.....and encrusting the background with blue stars and tiny seed beads .
I love embroidering Angels !
It's a beautiful embroidery! Hope the dentist visit went ok. xx
