Sturt's Desert Pea - i118 Kit

by Denise Mackey

Striking Australian desert flower featuring stumpwork elements and surface embroidery.

Description

One of Australia’s most spectacular and unique native species, the vibrant, scarlet desert pea (swainsona formosa), with its glossy black centre and soft grey-green leaves often grows in the brick-red soil of the vast outback, creating a spectacular carpet of vivid colour that can last many months.

Depicted here using surface embroidery and stumpwork, each growth stage; bud, flower and seed pod, is meticulously re-created with thread and wire in this fabulous plant study.
