The embroidery of Lubina, Slovakia is typical for its circle shape. The result is quite stunning!

Also, one more interesting fact: this type of embroidery has always been called called “embroidery of chicken´s asses” by local women. 

I love both this type of embroidery and the local name for it.

Guess what

One of heget’s original elven heraldric devices for Amarië of the Vanyar, loved by Finrod Felagund. It’s such a simple but beautiful design.
Since this is put in a lozenge and not a circle, I take this as a family symbol for Amarie’s family as a whole. I’m pretty sure I’m going to do another one in a circle with a little more true to life flowers. I guess some sort of wildflowers but idk which ones yet.
The background took the longest. Some nice concentric circles.
