This lovely design in silk and metal thread embroidery is as soft and delicate as the dew in early morning. Stitchers who enjoy working in silk and metallic threads will have a wonderful time stitching this beauty. The tortoise motif is a popular oriental design that is used in a variety of ways. When you put a number of shapes together in a circular shape, a star center is created. The eight tortoise shapes have filling stitches in silk and metallics done on the horizontal, vertical and diagonal.
