This cross stitch pattern depicts the Greek Myth of Eros, the Greek God of Love and his mortal lover, Psyche. It's one of the few stories from Greek Mythology that has a happy ending. In the story, Psyche was instructed not to look upon Eros, which is shown as a flame transforming into a blindfold. Of course, Psyche does find a way to look upon Eros while he was sleeping and the Trials of Psyche ensued where she had to prove her love for the Greek God. This pattern calls for DMC Light Effects variegated floss, which is used for the hair details and Eros' heart tattoo. The variegated floss works nicely with the rest of the color palette. The printed pattern is in full color with distinct symbols. A lighter fabric will work better for this design, as there is negative space where the fabric will show.
Pattern is stitched on your choice of fabric using DMC threads. Stitch count is 62w x 126h.
