About this work

This looks like a pattern for embroidery. The drawing shows a bright red flower at the top left, surrounded by smaller flowers and leaves. There are curved lines forming shapes that look like pockets or garment pieces. The flowers are painted in bold colors—reds, blues, and greens—with black outlines. The edges of the shapes have tiny dots and lines, like stitches. Check out how this uses embroidery as a technique.
