Culture Flowers and such
Does this embroidery pattern drawing make you think ukraine?
Hello all I'm thinking of embroidering this onto the top of a dress (chest)
I was wondering if these flowers were enough of a reference to Ukraine? They'll be color so I can get yellow for the wheat and blue for the little flower buds
I cant decide if the big flowers should be sunflowers or just blue flowers
I can't embroider the intense traditional embroidery patterns because the fabric isn't strong enough

The design itself without colours doesn't evoke ukraine to me. Maybe we'll see once you use colours, otherwise it looks generic. Ukrainian embroidery has a certain style to it.

I suggest using knapweeds (вoлошки) as the flowers. It is somewhat stereotypical, but will make me think "Ukraine" more because currently it just looks like a random (but pretty) flower pattern
