This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Island of Life designed from a painting by Arnold Bocklin shows a place where a person can experience joy in a tranquil setting free from harm and all alarm. There is nothing to fear on this island, and those who make it to this island are live in peace. It is a refuge for the weary who have earned their reward at the expense of those who are at unrest. People are swimming amongst the swans and it is a cheerful day. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
