"The Food Road"

This artwork, and many like it await you at The Needlepoint Museum.

They point out:

Every needlepoint is an astonishing achievement, when you think about it.

They take tons of work--even a small needlepoint the size of a business letter has about a 100,000 stitches and took someone maybe forty-five hours just to stitch--an incredible investment of time and energy.

Kind of scary, when you consider some of the subjects people have chosen to invest this time in. In addition to the lesson in human anatomy above, there's also a tribute to electricity, more nudes than even Hugh Hefner could manage at one time, and a piece that I first assumed was Elvis, but discovered was actually The Six Million Dollar Man. Of course.

And I don't know why they've titled this one "Autumn Rhythm," with the freaky eyeballs and the random shapes and music you can SEE, I'd call it Baaaaaad Trip.

Way too many people have way too much time on their hands.
