Arc of White
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Tempting Tangles

Deborah A. Dick of Tempting Tangles says:

"The lovely beaded miniature spider from "Arc of White" is a true arachnid work of art. It can be stitched separately and placed in a tiny frame. Give this striking and unique gift to your favorite nature lover."

 

Source of quote: Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts and produced many volumes of thought-provoking, beautiful poetry.

 

The piece is cross stiched on a piece of dark blue overdyed linen so as to figure night time, with the elaborate white spider web motifs and text showing on the dark background. Leaf motifs in warm colors  frame the design in two opposing corners. Beads are used for the tiny and cleverly designed spider (see below right).
