It was so much fun to tackle a dramatic Laurel Burch piece. Her colors and shading are exquisite. The threads and stitches selected for this piece capture the shading and the unique color plan. Elegant blackwork fills the background, combining symmetry and the beautiful shading.

Designed for Laurel Burch Canvas #LB-19 (distributed through Danji Designs).
