This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Hour-Glass designed from a painting by Evelyn De Morgan shows a seated woman in a luxurious, flowing yellow gown, her gaze fixed somberly on an hourglass as spirits or ethereal figures appear to pass through the room. The artist wanted to emphasize the fleeting nature of time and the thin veil between the physical and spiritual worlds. The visual palette is a rich study in warmth and contrast, featuring the deep, saturated ambers and golds of the subject's dress against the dark, scholarly interior and the soft, ghostly greys of the departing spirits. This pattern is for lovers of Symbolism and Pre-Raphaelite art who appreciate intricate, thoughtful compositions that explore the human condition and the inevitable passage of life. The scene captures the ambiance of a quiet study, where the only movement is the silent, relentless trickle of sand and the soft flutter of spiritual robes. 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.
