Needlework picture of Llanddeiniol village, worked in wool and acrylics. Made by Cathy Evans during the Covid-19 pandemic, 2020. "This tapestry of the village where I live took about two weeks to make. There are no people, cars or animals in it. Just the village. First, I looked at a few photos from different angles and in different seasons, then I drew on the canvas. Using wool, I started at the bottom of the hill and worked my way along the road, as if I was slowly walking up it, thinking of each neighbour as I stitched their house. I used wool left over from other projects and, luckily, I had many different shades of green, so the colour palette just emerged as I worked." Cathy Evans, quoted in The Guardian newspaper, 13 November 2020. The needlework picture featured in an article on pandemic craft projects.
