Deer Joy
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Barbara Ana Designs

In the manner of a heraldic portrait, and in Barbara Ana's truly unique style, here is a stylized picture of a white deer, featured in profile, with a mesmerizing blue eye fixing us. The deer is wearing a medieval-inspired costume, with an elaborate collar framing the long white neck and head.

The arms are holding a heart shape, like a coat of arms, with the letters: JOY.

A garland of flowers frames the portrait. The colors a kept very simple, with dominant colors of white, aqua blue and brick red, and a touch of golden yellow.
