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.
