| This smocking plate is taken from the Summer 1990 edition of Autralian Smocking. The magazine was originally a black and white publication. Slowly it began including a few colour photographs in the centre pages and finally it evolved into the Australian Smocking and Embroidery of today. This issue (Number 11) included The Aussie Boys Collection of which Possum is one. I thought a bit of nostalga was in order. There was no Colour Key included with the plate.... so choose your own! |
| Ears: Open lazy daisy using four strands of floss. Eyes: Lazy daisy using four strands and french knot using three strands of floss. Nose: French knot with three strands of floss. Leaves: Lazy daisy using three strands. |
