A DMC cross stitch kit to recreate Alfons Mucha’s Zodiac — one of the most striking images of the Art Nouveau movement, produced in 1896 and originally designed as a calendar for the printer Champenois for the year 1897.
The image is quintessential Mucha: a woman in magnificent profile, framed by an elaborate circular halo divided into the signs of the zodiac, her hair ornate, her jewellery intricate, the whole composition a masterpiece of decorative line and warm, glowing colour. Mucha’s distinctive style — part Byzantine, part organic, entirely his own — lends itself beautifully to cross stitch, where the detail and the repeating motifs reward patient stitching. The finished piece, at 30 x 40 cm, is substantial enough to make a real statement framed.
The finished embroidery measures 30 x 40 cm.
The kit includes:
165 m of Mouliné Spécial® threads on an organiser
1 x 14-count white Aida fabric, 45 x 50 cm (100% cotton)
1 x needle
Instructions in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Japanese

This was the one place I was able to obtain cotton lace that matched the lace on the families traditional christening gown. It arrived in Australia in time to complete the gown. Very happy with quality and service
