This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Listen to My Sweet Pipings designed from a painting by John William Waterhouse shows a young woman relaxing on the ground being serenaded by a nymph who is playing a sweet melody. The woman is said to symbolize nature itself by the colors of nature she is wearing. For instance, her clothing wrapped around her hips represents the colors of the mountains seen in the background and the upper half of her clothing is said to represent the umbilical cord from mother nature tying us to nature. Music is a powerful force that perhaps can wipe that glare from her face and turn it into something serene and tranquil. 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.
