Biscornu anyone?

Say hello to Kokopelli.

Info:

  • Design: Kokopelli
  • Designer: I (as yours truly)
  • Fabric: Hand-dyed (by me) dark grey 28 count Meran
  • Floss: DMC Variations 4200 (This takes one full skein) + misc. dark grey for the backstitching and some red for the whip stitches.

What's in the name?:
While stitching this it begun to remind me of one, or actually two, batik wall hangings I did while I was studying. The dominating factor in them was Kokopelli, who is fertility deity (and also spirit of music), but in addition to him there was some shapes which remind, to certain extent, forms in this one. Hence the name.
