Firebird - Russian Folk Tales
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Gera! by Kyoko Maruoka

Every night, the Firebird sneaks into the King's orchard, stealing his golden apple. Until, one night, prince Ivan discovers its secret...
 
A colorful embroidery, with a majestic bird and a superb rendering of the "golden apple". Designer Kyoko Maruoka has an amazing expertise of rendering color in needlework, playing the tones of thread to evoke the richness of the gold.
 
The layout is very effective. The piece is cross stitched on a background of black needlework linen which further highlights the bright colors of the embroidery.
