Big Bear & Small Bear (Glow in the Dark!)

Constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, now as actual bears in the sky. Gift this pattern to your parent for Mother's day or Father's day, or to a friend who is expecting. This item is also a wonderful addition to any child's bedroom. Or your bedroom? Why not? Sweet dreams!

The constellations in this pattern are GLOW IN THE DARK. They are done with DMC E940, which means they give off a white-green hue after being 'charged' in a light source. For more information, see explanation below :)

PRACTICAL INFORMATION:

This design uses 8 DMC colours and requires a small amount of backstitch.

Fabric used in the image: 32ct hand-dyed linen "Midnight Blue" by LadyRevengaCrafts on Etsy

The pattern is 100 stitches wide x 100 stitches high. On count 14 fabric, the design is 7-1/4 inches wide x 7-1/4 inches high, or 18.1cm wide x 18.1cm high. The pattern also contains measurements for 16 and 18 count Aida.

The constellations in this pattern are GLOW IN THE DARK. This effect is noticeable but subtle. Due to the nature of the threads, the effect lasts for a limited amount of time, and the threads need an occasional source of light to work. To reignite the threads, simply 'charge' the finished embroidery piece in a source of light for a while. After this, the glow-in-the-dark effect should work as before.

Be careful ironing this piece, as DMC E940 is made from polyester! I cannot guarantee that the threads hold up nicely, or that the glow-in-the-dark effect will work after ironing.
