We use color everyday in our lives. In fact, color tends to be an important part of my hobbies. This is a part of a cross stitch pattern by one of my favorite and most challenging designers Teresa Wentzler. It is The Lady of Shalott. The challenge of a TW piece comes in all the blended threads (taking one strand of one color and adding a strand of a different color) and what we fondly refer to as "confetti stitches" meaning the symbols seem to jump around all over the place to create almost a painted quality when completed. I started this one several years ago and finished the border. This portion of the pattern is the interior which I will start on in the near future. You must take breaks from a TW so as not to go insane! If you would like to see what the piece looks like currently for me, you can see it here.
