This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Heart Desires, Pygmalion designed from a painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones shows a sculptor not only admiring, but actually falling in love with his own creation. Two women seen in the background bare witness to his infatuation with his work of art. The gist of the feeling is a longing for something that can never be and a feeling of unfulfillment. The colors are beautiful and almost have a soft marbleized effect and mesh well together in harmonic symphony. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
