The distinctive markings of the tiger make for wonderful cross stitch designs, as shown here. The head of a tiger emerging from the undergrowth results in a dramatically framed portrait, complete with deep amber eyes. A tiger on the prowl is a striking image, and shows more of the amazing coat. Finally a tiger swims through a lake full of lilies, his head emerging from the cool water and reflected in the shimmering surface, forming an unusual and breathtaking image.
