Meet “Zelda”, a striking 8" x 13" oval wool appliqué mat that brings bold color and intricate detail together in one unforgettable design. Set against a rich black wool background, vivid florals and flowing flourishes bloom in red, orange, teal, green, and blurple—some enhanced with subtle variegation and twinkling wool textures for added depth and movement.
Each element is carefully embellished with detailed hand embroidery and finished with shimmering pink and blue glass seed beads that catch the light beautifully. The result is a piece that feels both modern and timeless, full of texture, contrast, and artistry.
Perfectly sized to fit our 8" x 13" oval cheese box, “Zelda” also makes a stunning decorative accent when displayed on a large handmade cherry tray. Whether used seasonally or enjoyed year-round, it’s a vibrant statement piece designed to elevate any space.
