This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Tower of Babel designed from a painting by Pieter Brueghel the Elder shows a monumental tower built by a self-centered, arrogant monolingual group of people who later desired to create a tower that reached into the heavens. The Tower of Babel is mentioned in the Bible in the book of Genesis. God became frustrated with the people who built the tower due to their vanity and conceitedness; so, he changed their speech from being monolingual to making them speak many different languages to the point that they were no longer able to understand each other. The Tower of Babel is actually a mythical tower and was taught as a parable to the people. This explains how the many languages came into being and people were scattered all over the world. 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.
