About this item
A detailed hand-embroidered study of a Goldfinch among some autumn bramble leaves. The image is built up using individual strands of embroidery thread in contrasting colours of white, black, cream, buff, yellow and crimson.

I loved this hare so much that I asked Sylvie to make me a polar bear for my son for Christmas and I was so pleased with that one too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this seller for her friendly 'can do' attitude and lovely work.
