Watermelon Delight Tapestry

by EMKA

Available as Canvas only or with quality Anchor Tapestry Wool

The Watermelon Delight Tapestry is a glimpse of two little boys, gobbling down a snack of grapes and watermelon as they take a break from their busy day helping with the harvest.

The Watermelon Delight Tapestry is a dark, dramatic image just perfect for a dining room or  a well lit spot in your home.

Design Size: 40cm x 50cm

Canvas Size: 50m x 60cm

Design is printed on  Brown 100% Cotton Penelope Canvas

Available as Canvas only or with the option of quality Anchor Tapestry Wool included (price includes a 5% discount on Tapestry wool)

** Quantities are approximate and refer to Half Cross Stitch**

The  Watermelon Delight Tapestry would also look lovely completed in either DMC or Anchor 6 Stranded Embroidery Cotton.

Editors Note: For a more modern look, experiment with a combination of threads and textures. Variegated threads can add interest as can metallic, rayon or silk threads for that added sheen and sparkle.  Using matching colors in different mediums lets you introduce texture into your work.   Perhaps consider some textured stitches??

When I look at this canvas, it makes me want to do the boys facial features and skin in Petite Point and perhaps even the Grapes and Watermelon for added focus!
