Princess Anna and Sven the reindeer from Disney’s Frozen (2013), in the chibi/big-head art style Ekaterina Chaykovskaya is known for under her shop name Les petites croix de Lucie. Anna in her purple-and-pink coronation outfit, mid-laugh, with her hand on Sven’s antler — a much warmer scene than anything happening on the ice in the actual movie.

Stitched on 28ct Purple Morning opalescent linen — opalescent fabric has tiny shimmer flecks woven through it, so the frosty-snow-glow in the background isn’t really stitched, it’s the fabric doing the work. DMC throughout. The companion piece is Elsa and Olaf, finished a month later.

The frame is custom — made by AcmsNeedleworkShop on Etsy and hand-painted in DMC 29 (the deep purple-violet from the floss range) so it would tie back to the linen and the costume. The crystal snowflakes around the rim came from Amazon and got glued on after the frame was finished, so the whole piece reads like it’s caught mid-snowfall.

Finished April 17, 2021.
