This bookmark is stitched from a Starry Dreams series that reimagines swirling night and sunset skies over layered landscape horizons - glowing suns, pale moons, and comet-like trails sit above silhouetted trees, rooftops, and mountains in a style reminiscent of swirling brushwork skies. Worked on a narrow vertical panel sized for a bookmark, the palette moves through midnight blue, gold, sunset orange, and forest green.
Why this kit: a swirling sky-focused motif that reads as wearable art rather than a typical bookmark print; a saturated palette of blues, golds, and sunset tones built from precisely counted DMC shades; a compact format that stitches up quickly on 14 count Aida.
Kit includes a pre-printed (pre-stamped) bookmark-format Aida fabric, floss in the required DMC-coded colours, a needle, and instructions.
Like any counted cross stitch design, it is built up by following the color chart and symbol key, placing each stitch on the marked fabric with the indicated DMC shade, and working section by section from sky to horizon until the bookmark is complete.
Quick enough for a beginner's first counted cross stitch project yet detailed enough to satisfy an experienced stitcher, this bookmark makes a fitting gift for a stargazer or dedicated reader.
