Ann Strite-Kurz
ASK34: Kokopelli - The Merry Minstrel
 
Ann Strite-Kurz Kokopelli - The Merry Minstrel This legendary humpbacked flutist from Anasazi folklore is a popular southwestern motif. In this interpretation the usual solid primitive silhouette has been transformed to a simple Assisi style outline for the body; the clothing is richly embellished with two composite patterns in traditional southwestern shades of russet with bright blue accents.

The decorative Indian inspired partial border is executed totally in Rhodes stitch with backstitched details, and the background area is filled with an original open pattern that echoes the diamonds in the border.
