Kilkea Rose embroidery

This piece from the embroidered Ireland series features a rose from the backyard of Kilkea Castle. 

 

The castle is a family favorite - Edward visited in 1968 and we stayed there together in 2001.  I felt like a princess.

Here’s the photo of the rose…

The drawing of the illuminated letter K…

And, the photoshop combination ready for printing –

I thought a pink tint would be fun. 

Here’s another photo of the final version.

And a link to the Kilkea Castle website…
