An oestrogen molecule, reimagined in vintage florals! The hydroxl and methyl groups have been replaced by blooming flowers, and a delicate vine wraps around the chemical structure giving new life to a scientific diagram. This is the estradiol/oestradiol (E2) form of oestrogen and the most potent estrogen during the premenopausal period, and the form delivered to transgender women during hormone therapy.
There are 4 different text variations (oestrogen/estrogen/oestradiol/estradiol) and 2 different text placement areas; instructions and anchor points are included to help you place the text option you want in the position you want it.
This piece contains no actual cross stitching; the effect is created using different thicknesses of backstitching instead. There are 4 different colourways included, or create one entirely your own!
Please note, this listing is for a pattern to allow you to create your own cross stitch.
