Ram Skull with Autumn Foliage and Rosehips
Ram Skull with Autumn Foliage and Rosehips
About This Work
A frontal ram's skull with large curling horns rendered in browns and tans, framed by autumn-toned oak and rowan leaves and clusters of red rosehip berries. The naturalistic shading on the bone and horns uses graduated long-and-short stitching, with couched accents on the berry clusters. A dark, moody novelty composition arranged symmetrically around the central skull.
Stitch Technique: Needle-Painting (Long-and-Short)
