The shrike can be found almost everywhere on the Estonian mainland, but it is rarer on the islands.

There is a common legend or teaching that if a woman wants a man to love her back, she should tie a cup of chalice and a charm together and secretly hide it under her husband's cloak.

Recommendations for embroidering a courier hat.

  • We remember the art lesson from elementary school, where we tried to give a circle the appearance of a sphere by playing with a regular pencil, using light and shadow, or learning how to depict a geometric object on a plane.
  • Another important observation is to look at the structure of the petals themselves and their arrangement, or the so-called future thread run.
  • The third important aspect is that the petals are delicate and translucent. Hence the choice of yarns.

Study your tiny models in nature, draw and photograph them in their natural habitat, then the play of light and shadow will be natural.

Remember that in embroidery, we have the needle as a brush and the thread as paint.

Don't forget the stems and leaves, and the accompanying flower of remembrance – the primrose or the iris.
