A freestyle Embroidery based on Loreena McKennitt's "The Bonny Swans". It's a song about a girl who is drowned by her jealous sister. Her body swirls around where the swans swim and is found and assumed to be that of a swan.

A musician makes a harp of her bones. He is hired for the sisters wedding to the dead girl's love. At the wedding the harp starts to sing on its own and tells of her murder.

This is done on black linen in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry, circa 1070 CE.

The swan attacking the sister cracks me up, it's a silly looking thing.

Mine too. I love the Highwayman. We had a teacher who had us read the poem in grade five, when I heard her version I fell in love with her style of song story telling.

Thank you! I usually just draw whatever is in my mind on material with a chalk pencil then jump right in. I’ve never been good at following set patterns. I wander both in mind and thread. 😁
