My latest embroidery, a composition of various Viking and Norse motifs which I adapted to form a whole. About 18 month's work. Quite pleased.

Extra marks for anyone who can translate the runes...😄

Orange and red wool on calico embroidery. Black background, with motifs of beasts, dragons and deer with intertwined tails, and with two horses' heads at the top, beneath a line of rune writing. The whole thing is surrounded by a wavy orange line.

Clouded yellow

We seem to be having a bit of a 'clouded yellow year' at the moment. And to think they've migrated all the way from the mediterranean!🦋

Circular piece of paper with watercolour of yellow butterfly, standing on a yellow dandelion-type flower, looking to the left. Two wings are greeny-gold with brown spots along the outer edge and, on the lower wing, a larger brown 'eye' with a white centre. The body is furry in browns, greens and golds.
