Modelbucher Patterns

I’m caught up in a couple of projects now as well as a bit stressed. So, no new research matches, but I thought I’d show off a personal non-embroidery use of modelbucher patterns. I just made some award certificates using adaptations of a couple of patterns. They are small paintings. The rose is on canvas, the other on Bristol board. Ink and opaque watercolor were used.
