About this pattern

A conical laboratory flask half full of violet potion, drawn for black fabric. The lip and the upper walls of the glass are pale silver gray, with a darker gray patch under the lip on each side, and the empty part of the flask is left as bare black cloth. The potion fills the lower half in one flat violet with a darker band along the bottom, and two bubbles show in it as bare cloth, a small square one above a larger round one. There is no outline, and the left side mirrors the right exactly. Stitch it on black fabric: the dark parts are the cloth. Full crosses only.

30 stitches wide by 34 high: 502 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Dark Lavender 209, Very Light Pearl Gray 762, Very Dark Lavender 208 and 1 more).
