Scarlet Pimpernel appears in sunny patches across Ireland, opening only when the light is right. I studied this small but striking flower, paying attention to its vivid red petals and tiny golden centre, then translated those details into thread. The bloom is built lightly so it keeps the airy delicacy the real plant has when it opens for the day.
Even though it is a modest flower, it stands out when it chooses to reveal itself, and I wanted the stitched version to hold that same sense of brightness. The artwork is framed in a white wood box frame with Artglass for clarity and protection.
