The Cattistock Angel Embroidery - Church of St Peter and St Paul Cattistock , Dorset


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 !
