Fairy apple

Cinzia thank you very much for the history of this small fairy and the wonderful apple tree. I love the colors. The threads estn ordered and what I like most of Luca's. It left me enough to finish the embroidery, but what I see seems to me beautiful ...

The image of this scheme is one of many "Fairies of the flowers", creatures born from the imagination of Cicely Mary Barker, in the early 1900s, he loved drawing nature, observing and reproducing carefully from real plants and flowers, which flanked by small children (also portraits of boys and girls real), who knew cleverly give the appearance of small fairy creatures with beautiful transparent wings, dressed in petals and leaves. In this scheme it represented the "Crab Apple Tree Fairy", or Melo Magic, who waits patiently falling beautiful fruits hanging from the branch, full and heavy, on top of her. All shades of this embroidery are gold: yellow, orange, brown, create an atmosphere of late summer, and the great fruits, swollen and shiny make you realize how small the fairy who "belongs" to this plant, and therefore has the same colors ... the scheme because it is very easy to read size, divided into several sheets, the yarns are very divided on 3 rolled cardboard lists (Anchor brand), needle, white canvas and explanations complete this kit. If, like me, they have the many books on "Fate dei Fiori 'potr also read poetry combined with this, (each fairy has one of his poems) and admire the beauty of these designs that are born at the beginning of the century last ... but who are still able to charm us: if you look at the world through the eyes of imagination will find "new things in things."
