I like the exuberance of Hungarian Embroidery, and how many variations you can get from some simple shapes. I first digitized the pomegranate outlines, then started stitching with 8 colours of the Madeira Lana thread. Each flower has every colour in it and no two are the same. This will be the start of something more.
The stitches used are chain stitch, split stitch, French knots, satin stitch, seed stitch and what I am calling bauble stitch for the top of the pomegranates.

Kate Wells is one of New Zealand’s most well known woven tapestry artists.
This design is based one of Kate Wells’ designs for Dilana Rugs.
Wells was born in Foxton and studied textile design at Wellington Polytechnic. She received a Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council Grant in 1986 that enabled her to travel to Europe to study both early and contemporary tapestries. In 1988 Wells was invited to lecture at an international tapestry symposium in Melbourne and in 1989 she won the Wool Interior Design Award. Many of her works are in public collections
Gorgeous and girly, this design uses lovely bright pastels on a hot rose pink background, making this floral almost edible. This design was very satisfying to do, mostly in chain stitch – the colours fill in fast – very hard to put down!

In a tangle of flowers
were angels and butterflies
flitting and fluttering
singing a tune
arias for summer
and whispers for the moon
