Chart: A large Frida Kahlo-style alphabet – Cross Stitch Design

An undeniable icon of Mexican culture, Frida Kahlo makes an appearance in this colorful ABC. Amidst exuberant flowers, folkloric patterns, and richly decorated letters, this creation celebrates the artist's vibrant and poetic universe. Each letter becomes a true decorative element, blending Mexican inspirations, refined details, and bright colors.

At the center of the composition, Frida's silhouette brings all her personality to this original piece. An embroidery full of character that will naturally find its place in a creative workshop, a living room, or a bedroom, and that will appeal to all lovers of art, travel, and fine letters.

The design was embroidered on 11 threads/cm linen fabric in color 712 from DMC, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This fabric highlights the richness of the colors and the intricacy of the many details that make up the ABC. You can also create this design on an Aida 5.5 stitches/cm fabric to achieve exactly the same final dimensions. An unbleached or natural fabric will bring warmth and authenticity to the whole, while a white fabric will enhance the luminosity of the vibrant colors inspired by Mexican art.

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