Orbit

An embroidered planet with rings.
Royal Astronomical Society

Title: Orbit

Description: A planet with rings

Maker: Jean Rooke, retired teacher

Techniques Used: Embroidery - long and short stitch in Crewel wool.

Inspiration:

"I love the pictures of Saturn with all its rings and could visualise those worked in bobbin lace which is light and open. For the planet itself I used wool to give a more solid contrast."
