Klimt: Ages of Life

Gustav Klimt's famous embrace of mother and child, printed on a Pénélope antique canvas: the design is already there in full colour, so you stitch by following the picture instead of counting. Needlepoint is worked in diagonal stitches all slanting the same way and covers the canvas densely, which brings out the warm skin tones and the decorative details.

This is the canvas only: threads and needle are not included. The required materials list gives the recommended DMC Soft Cotton shades and quantities, which can be added to the cart in one go. A stretcher frame makes a piece of this size easier to handle; once finished, the work is ready to be framed as a picture.
