Chart: Collectible Hens, Cross Stitch Creation

Each more elegant than the last, these magnificent collectible hens unfurl their sumptuous plumage in a composition full of charm and character.

Inspired by the most beautiful farmyard breeds, they reveal an incredible diversity of colors, shapes, and textures that cross-stitch renders with finesse and precision. It's hard to choose a favorite, as each one has its own personality!

Designed by Sylvie Teytaud, this creation pays tribute to the fascinating world of farm animals and the natural beauty of ornamental poultry. The details of the plumage, the proud attitudes, and the delicately nuanced colors bring this true gallery of rural portraits to life. A work that will appeal to lovers of the countryside, animals, and richly detailed embroidery.

The design was embroidered on sand-colored linen fabric, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This fabric with natural tones particularly highlights the nuances of the plumage and brings a lot of elegance to the overall composition.

This creation can also be made on a DMC 11 threads/cm linen fabric embroidered over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads, or on a 5.5 stitches/cm Aida fabric to obtain slightly more generous dimensions while facilitating the embroidery work.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (DMC ref.) on 6 pages.
