45X60 Cm Printed Tapestry Canvas for Half Stitch by Seg De Paris SE929.322

This Seg De Paris printed tapestry canvas portrays a flamenco dancer in a dramatic red and pink ruffled, polka-dot dress, one arm raised to adorn her hair with an ornate comb while flames from a bonfire blaze behind her against a dark green wooded backdrop. The bold reds, oranges, and yellows of the fire play off the dancer's vivid gown, giving the design strong contrast and a theatrical, high-energy feel.

Why this canvas: the flowing ruffles of the dress offer rich texture and shading opportunities across a single garment; the fire in the background introduces warm oranges and yellows that intensify the composition's drama; the striking color contrast between the dancer's costume and the dark tree line makes the finished piece read strongly as a statement wall hanging.

Canvas includes: a Zweigart 10ct cotton canvas (40 holes per 10 cm) pre-printed with the full flamenco dancer design for half cross stitch, along with a complete DMC thread-color reference list covering all four thread types used in Seg De Paris canvases — Mouliné, Colbert Wool, Retors Cotton, and Pearl Cotton. Thread, needle, and finishing materials are sold separately and are not included.

The dancer and fire are printed directly onto the canvas in their finished colors, so the stitcher works a diagonal half-cross stitch over each printed square using the thread shade indicated, matching it to the included DMC list of Mouliné, Colbert Wool, Retors Cotton, and Pearl Cotton. Working the flame area before the dress ruffles can help keep the warm and cool color zones distinct.

At 45 x 60 cm (17.72 x 23.62 in), this canvas suits a framed statement piece for anyone drawn to bold, figurative subjects, making it a striking addition to a living room or study.
