Toxic City Flowerpot
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Barbara Ana Designs

With Barbara Ana, names are as whimsical as the patterns themselves and don't always provide clues. And that's what we love about the designer: her creative urge, her wild imagination, the inexpected directions every new design takes. 

Why this design? Because it was inspired by a flower pot she had handpainted helself, and she "just felt the need to do it" in cross stitch. 

The strange doll-like flower pot is shaped like it were a doll carved out of a wooden cylinder. Out of the precariously balanced vase, flows a whole world of exotic flowers, oversize mushroom, a strange pair of fruit -are they apples, hearts? Within this universe, on a much smaller scale is a landscape of tiny houses surrounded by trees. Thread colors are a striking mix of aqua blue and red, with black and orange highlights, every single tone playing a role in the delicate balance of colors.

Stitching this design will keep you entertained for many hours as you stitch each area, always discovering new surprising details.
