Cosmic Dreams II (Big Sister)
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Barbara Ana Designs

This is the second of Barbara Ana's portraits of the siblings - this time the bigger sister - of a girl meditating and letting her mind wander deep into the universe. Together with the little sister, they can be stitched as a pair.

The Dreamer's eyes are closed, a tranquil expression on her face. Yet her mane of hair seems to be blowing sideways, as if caught in strong wind, and blends into a sort of spacial void, as if her body and mind were disolving into the cosmos.

Hanging from the hair, as if they were stars, is a swarm of little bug-like creatures. If you are old enough, you will recognize the small animated pixel monsters in 1970's video-games, so called space invaders.

The cross stitch piece appears to be sprinkled with gold, yet this effect is obtained exclusively through the choice of colors, with golden hues contrasting against the darker colors (no metallics). We love the way the universe is pictured in a ball behind her head, with planets and stars floating in a colorful interstellar atmosphere

The background fabric color can be any neutral of your choice. The stitched design pictured here was worked on 25ct navy Lugana from Zweigart.
