The Vine & VallumMystery SAL
"The Vine and Vallum" ( a sturdy garden wall) our 9 part SAL has started. Details are in our shop. The Vine & Vallum is a cross stitch study in architectural contrast and botanical persistence. This design features an intricate Arabesque trellis is composed of interlaced linework that provides a disciplined structure. Weaving through this geometric framework are soft, flowing vines that soften the rigid angles, creating a harmonious balance between man-made precision and organic growth. It captures the quiet elegance of a hidden courtyard & garden. Enjoy!
