The Crow and The Snake
$111.00
A hungry Crow, flying about in quest of his prey, saw a Snake basking himself upon the side of a sunny bank.
Down he soused upon him, and seized him with his horny beak, in order to devour him.
But the Snake, writhing to and fro with the pain, bit the Crow again with his venomous teeth, to such a degree, that he could not survive it.
The Crow, in the agonies of death, is said to have confessed that this judgment happened to him justly; since he had attempted to satisfy his craving appetite at the expence of another’s welfare.
“Nature has made all the necessaries of life, safe and easier to us, but if we will be hankering after things that we neither want nor understand, we must take our fortune.”
Desire things you don’t understand and you accept the consequences.
This kit is from The Fables range.

About the range
These finely crafted kits give you everything you need to stitch timeless tales. Their striking, storytelling designs were inspired by Aesop’s fables, with each kit depicting a different tale and a different moral.
The kits use just three core stitches: satin stitch, split stitch and chain stitch, and take around 20 hours to stitch. We have a video guide accompanying each kit which will show you the key stitching stages, so if you are picking up a needle for the first time, we will guide you the whole time.
Framing your embroidery
Our framing shop
We believe framing is absolutely integral to any piece of art. A frame can make or break a finished piece, so as much consideration should be given to the frame as the artwork in it. Our signature decorative frames are all hand-painted in our London studio and designed to perfectly complement our embroidery kits.
We are passionate about getting everyone making and feeling creative, so with that in mind, we also have a curated range of materials to enable you paint your own frames. Alongside our virtual decorative painting course, these materials are a really fun way to experiment and create pieces totally unique to you.
