In the language of flowers, the iris symbolizes faith, wisdom, cherished friendship, hope, and valor. It is a showy flower that is named for the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods in Greek mythology. With over 200 varieties and the vivid colors in which the iris comes, I think you would agree that it is aptly named.
Here is my cross stitch project featuring beautiful iris blooms ... the bird in the flower pot just adds to the charm.
Gorgeous! Such intricate work. You didn't say how many hours you put into this piece... I can't even imagine!
ReplyDeleteI have tremors in my hands, so I couldn't do cross stitch. I'd be a bloody mess, and it would take me years to complete. I admire your tenacity in doing this art form. :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Erin. I love seeing your stitches up close. Bearded iris are one of my favorite flowers. The Dutch iris I find a bit boring actually.
ReplyDeleteThe patience and counting.I never could get my rows to come out right..I tried and tried but finally gave up a few years back. Great job and beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteWOW that is gorgeous. What a work of art!
ReplyDeleteHow do you find the time? Think of all the things you'll be able to do when you retire! :c)
ReplyDeleteErin that is truly beautiful. You have a lot of patience and dedication to get that done and it truly is art.
