Finally finished a needlework project

81. Do you ever use French knots?

Thinking about your work brought to mind a piece I saw in the 70's. A young American woman did it to fill time while in jail in Italy.

It used shiny white thread on a navy blue background, and was of a young woman in 3/4 face (if that's a term - neither profile nor full face) with long, flowing hair trailing out behind her. The hair gradually broke up near the ends, and became stars in a night sky.

It must have taken forever. I would never have had an idea that such a technique existed, let alone that the piece was composed of them. It was in the description.
