This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Dans le Charmille designed from a painting by Francois Martin-Kavel shows an elegant woman in an ornate blue and gold brocade gown standing before a shaded garden arbor, her hair adorned with a bright crimson ribbon that matches the delicate rose at her bodice. In this piece, the artist wanted to emphasize the romantic allure of a private garden rendezvous and the luxurious texture of eighteenth-century-inspired fashion. The colors used are a sophisticated mixture of deep lapis lazuli blues and warm, golden ochres, set against the moody shadows of the background foliage. When looking at this artwork, one would imagine it taking place on a secluded woodland path at the edge of a great estate. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
