Stitchy Princess Alice in Wonderland

Stitched on 32 count Millenium Blue linen

13. Circle Cross Blackwork Tarot Zodiac

Circle Cross Blackwork Art Nouveau Tarot Zodiac

Stitched on 28 count sky blue evenweave from Silkweavers

I started with the four elements at the top of the fabric

Then stitched each of the star signs in their relevant month under the element they belong to

I did change Cancer as the chart showed her with a crayfish rather than the crab that most British people associate with the sign.
I had a lovely chat with the designer who revealed that in some cultures they use a crayfish or lobster as the star constellation does resemble them more than a crab.

I added beads to form the constellations in each sign.
