This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Child in the World designed from a painting by Thomas Cooper Gotch shows a little girl standing tall and unafraid of being in the lair of the dragon, who calmly observes and feels defeated by the strength of this child's lack of fear. The artwork reminds us of fairytales of yesteryear during a time when innocent fantasy could take flight in the minds of our children. The colors are vivid and carry the wheels of our minds to distant lands. The dragon represents the world; however, the child is currently not afraid of it. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
