Seaside Wreath

You can almost hear the cry of the seagulls, rendered so realistically in this small cross stitch piece. A little girl has taken out her fishing rod but the little fish are having fun jumping in the waves, determined not to get caught ...

Note the beaks of seagulls that are worked with a three-quarter cross stitch, for better detail.
