This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Voyage of Life - Childhood designed from a painting by Thomas Cole shows the first stage of life of a child coming out of a dark cave and entering life that is a bright and shiny world full of stimulants that spark the mind, the imagination and fills the child with wonder. Exploration is the child's main goal where he explores faith with the help of a guardian angel by his side as a guide, has trials and turmoil, and eventual salvation. The childhood stage is fleeting, and one meant to enjoy because it does not last long, and as we get older, we yearn for those days where responsibility was significantly reduced. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
