label: Description
content: Ferns and ivy are speratically placed throughout the motif. Small ivy leaves are huddled together in mini clusters attached to long vines connected from top to bottom. Larger ivy leaves are inverted so the veins of the leaf are what remain. The silk threads are cross hatched to support the delicate pattern.
