Palanquin
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Perrette Samouiloff

Who is the mysterious lady travelling? Where is she going? 

Her porters are dressed with great elegance. The palanquin is richly decorated, with lacquered woodwork, a cupola-shaped roof, with gilded borders and lightly raised edges. Thick red brocade curtains protect the traveler from looking inside ... but she discreetly observes her world.

Creative Poppy suggestion:

Opt for an oriental frame, creating a "frame in the frame", as in this illustration, inserting a horizontal decorative band and 2 side bands. You can use pieces of fabric with Chinese patterns, or other ornate and shiny fabrics in matching colors.
