About this Product
The Great White Trillium is native to the forests of North America and is commonly found in the spring in many forests. In the Pacific Northwest and blooms for roughly 3 weeks. In the Pacific Northwest, anyone who has been out in the woods can tell you we see Trillium for all the spring and summer months. This beautiful, delicate white flower has 3 petals and 3 leaves- hence the name Trillium. They often develop pink tinge or even fully pink leaves as the flower ages. These plants develop slowly but once established can live for hundreds of years! Picking a flower, however, will kill the plant, so never do it!
This image was inspired by street art I saw on the side of a building at night. The flower popped in the dark shadows so I designed my own flower on a charcoal background to highlight its color.
Design space is 7in x 6in, painted on #18 canvas. As pictures don't always convey colors perfectly, I included some thread ideas to give more context. Let me know if you want suggestions or the specific numbers of the colors shown.

Meet the Maker
About me: My name is Sam and I'm glad to share my projects with you! Though not technically a native, I've lived in Portland Oregon for almost 20 years and can't imagine any other place I'd rather be. The natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest is absolutely magical from the coast to the mountains to the desert. Every place from the smallest towns to the big cities are quirky and interesting. All of these things inspire the designs and colors I use in my creations. It may seem an unusual combination, needlepoint and jewelry, but it's what I love to make!
Needlepoint: My mother and grandmother taught me needlepoint as a little girl. It's so satisfying, to watch a design come together. It's almost like paint by numbers but more tactile. I have a variety of design projects for various tastes. Some complete kits for small, quick portable projects that end with a useable item to use- bookmarks and fridge magnets (they also work great as presents after you've made them!). I also have a few larger canvases for a longer, more traditional needlepoint project.
Jewelry: I learned to make wire-wrapped jewelry from a friend in nursing school many years ago as a fund raising project for a medical mission. I've collected beads over the years from many places, and I love playing with color, texture and pattern combinations. There are two basic groups of jewelry I make, seed bead-based and semi-precious gemstone and sterling silver. The stones are my favorite with all subtle variation in individual beads of the same mineral, the formation and composition, and the meanings and history attributed to each.
