The original idea was from an embroidered 3d koi pond. And since I can’t embroider for the life of me, I decided to try it with cross stitch. Really enjoyed the process and learned a bunch of new techniques. The pattern is stitched on organza in 3 layers, framed in hoops and stacked.
This pattern was self drafted using Stitch Fiddle, pattern available for sale in my etsy shop.
