This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Lady Shalott designed from a painting by John William Waterhouse shows that according to a legend, a young woman who has been imprisoned on a island near Camelot Castle has been given a curse that she is not to look directly at Camelot, but is only allowed to see the world and Camelot through a mirror. Foregoing this rule will result in instant death. Here she makes the mistake of looking out the window at Camelot from her tower, and thus the curse begins. She leaves the tower, gets into a boat striving to get to Camelot, but unfortunately does not arrive there alive. Here we see her just before death. 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.
