09. Nora Corbett Taurus

This is the second of the Zodiac Girls designs from Nora Corbett that I have stitched.  She is Taurus, of course:



Here's the full design:


Stitched on 32 count Murano called....Taurus!

When I saw that Sparklies did a range of fabrics named after the Zodiac signs I knew they would be perfect for this series.


There were some Waterlilies charted for this design, but I substituted DMC for the ones in the centre of her dress.  3 different colours in the 501-503 range instead of one variegated.


Nora made a little error on the chart and put the sigil for Aries, but it was simple to change it to Taurus


The other Waterlilies was the teal to each side of her.  I used a Classic Colourworks thread called Bejewelled instead.


The swirls around the pale green beads were charted for Waterlilies and I used DMC 503 for them all.
