Needlepoint ~ “Waves Down Under”

Mistakes need love, too.

This style of needlepoint is Bargello or Florentine, so called after the city in which it was popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. I love this type of needlework. Unfortunately, this piece is upside down. When I made the tote bag, I placed the needlepoint panel the wrong way. I did not catch my mistake soon enough to correct it. Oh well.

This little bag will just need some extra love. I mean, it’s not really the bag’s fault that I biffed it. I take responsibility for all my creations.
