This landscape counted cross stitch pattern entitled Paradise in the Tropics designed by Tracey Marvel Kramer shows a daydream we often fantasize about when we are at our daily job, or in our spare time when we are allowed to dream about where we want to be instead of where we are right now. You can hear the sound of the ocean’s waves rolling in near the shore as you relax underneath the largest palm tree on the beach. The flowers are vibrant in color, and their smell is like nature’s perfume. As you lie back and sip your favorite beverage, your view is a nearby island loaded with coconut trees you plan to visit soon, and the vacation has just begun until BAM, you are hit by the suddenness of reality. This is where our minds take us when we are allowed to daydream. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
