Flag Sunrise<\/p><\/div>\n

I hope this is going to work as well in real life as it does in my imagination.<\/p>\n

Flag Sunrise Detail<\/p><\/div>\n

This section has been embroidered on a piece of calico I had conveniently to hand, using Danish Flower Thread, which is not at all shiny.

I’ve used two slightly different shades in the needle for each colour. That helped me to get the colours as accurate as I could while keeping within the colour range I had to choose from. In the case of the blues, I used three shades only – the middle shade appears as the darker one in the Swedish section and the lighter one in the British section. I’m very pleased with how that worked, as the two very different blues live very happily together here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
