Wisdom & Harmony Sampler

These are pic­tures of my fin­ished ver­sion of the Wis­dom & Har­mo­ny Sam­pler pub­lished by Stitch­World, a won­der­ful piece from Sharon Pope that was appar­ent­ly first pub­lished in Stitch­ery Mag­a­zine. The design­er states that it is based on Asante Adinkra sym­bols, although I haven’t done the research to find out if the sym­bols rep­re­sent­ed in the sam­pler real­ly cor­re­spond to the tra­di­tion­al ones. I find the sym­bols fas­ci­nat­ing. The col­ors are sim­ple and won­der­ful­ly bold, too. I fin­ished this one in 1999.

Click­ing on a par­tic­u­lar sym­bol will take you to a close-up of that square.
