This sepia counted cross stitch pattern entitled Josephine Baker I shows a portrait of Josephine, a very talented actress, dancer and entertainer who had transcended the color barrier in France (who welcomed her with open arms), did not have the same acceptance when her own birthplace (America) shunned her talent based on the color of her skin. Sadly, she is not the only actress or black celebrity who was subjected to extreme prejudice during her lifetime. She was extremely talented and will always be remembered for her banana dance that made her famous. 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.
