Inkl. Steuern.
The monal's small spoon-tipped crest rises below snow-covered rhododendron leaves. The digital embroidery pattern includes two foliage snow caps, a full tail and one raised foot, rather than treating the pale plant areas as flowers.
The design on cloth
Monal Under the Rhododendron Snow gives an elaborate bird a restrained winter setting. Keep the leaf and snow boundaries separate, shape every crest shaft, and preserve the unequal feet as you work across the rock.
From outlines to shaded surfaces
The guide maps 12 working regions with local stitch direction, strand count and DMC colour recipes. Use the region key and recommended sequence to follow the overlaps and changes in shading. Mapped techniques include split axes, low broken long-and-short, faceted long-and-short.
Are the pale forms rhododendron flowers?
They are snow caps on the foliage. The design keeps them separate from the turning leaf fields, with the bird's small crest tips providing another kind of repeated shape.
