Giselbertus’s Eve Revisited

A posting or two ago, I showed pics of a tapestry that I embroidered long ago and far away, when I was in art school: Lady Godiva
I decided that some day, I would give it to my first born child. She now owns it, and it feels like a promise has been kept.
It took about a year of intense embroidering to complete Lady Godiva, and then I began a second embroidered piece that I decided would some day belong to my second born child.
I fell in love with a small black and white photograph of a medieval carving of Eve, by the sculptor Giselbertus.
I embroidered an homage to that sculptor and the sculpture. I had always told my children that the tapestries belonged to them, but my son took a long time to get comfortable with owning Giselbertus’ Eve Revisited.
He loves it now, and he and his wife have taken possession of it.
Here are some pics of it………
I googled to see if I could find a pic of the actual sculpture, and I did! So, here’s a pic I found on the web of the original sculpture
Another WOW Noreen! It is beautiful too. You do excellent embroidery!
Thank you DebraAnn
Embroidery is certainly one of my great passions!
