This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled The Pleiades designed from a painting by Elihu Vedder shows seven celestial nymphs dancing in a luminous, swirling ring across the night sky while holding golden cords of light. You can almost catch the cool scent of starlit night air as a gentle celestial breeze sweeps through their flowing drapery. The colors are in muted earth tones, almost sepia in character, which makes the figures almost resemble rhythmic sculptures caught in movement. The way the glowing stars illuminate their graceful movement is stunning! Our patterns use only full cross stitches. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
