For The Love Of Needlepoint!

Needlepoint is one of those relaxing hobbies that always seems to give more than it received.  I love it!  I love how the colors blend together and how it takes on a life of it’s own and how I somehow get to partake in the beauty that comes from it.  I love how if you pick the right project, that you can in fact become challenged and your newest project can become 3-D.  Not only that, but if you select the right piece of art, you can in fact have some of the greatest artists of all time in your home for a fraction of the price.

Have you ever desired to have a Picasso?  Guess what?  You can and not for that insane price that you would have to get it for.

Girl Before A Mirror, Pablo Picasso 

Okay so maybe Picasso isn’t your thing.  What about Vincent Van Gogh?

Van Gogh has something about his work, that is truly original and unlike anyone else!

Schädel, Vincent van Gogh

Schadel

When was the last time you saw Schadel by Van Gogh and considered it as part of your art collection?  You probably haven’t, but with all the the Day of the Dead materials and the fade of wearing skulls, it may be something that you would consider now.

Vase of Roses, Vincent van Gogh

Vase Of Roses

This vase of roses are truly ones that will give forever.  They are not only perfect for spring, but also for those that have a black thumb.  You and they will never have to worry about them being over watered, under watered or in some other way killed.

Marilyn in Red, Joseph Sonday

Marilyn!

I’m not a big fan of Marilyn, but there’s something about this needlepoint that always attracts me to it.  I’m not sure if it’s the lighting that they have or perhaps the classic look on her face, but no matter how many times I see it, I’m drawn to it, and like with the roses, I don’t ever have to worry about her dying off on me.   She will always be just where I finished her at and her beauty will never end.

Hopefully, you have the beginning of the love for needlepoint that I do.  Everyone is different, just as everyone’s taste are different.  If you’ve never tried needlepoint, feel free to try something of a smaller size and you may just find out your new hobby is one that will last a lifetime and like the adult coloring books, you too can start a project that will allow you time to relax and benefit from it all at once.
