A little piece of 1970

I seem to be on a bit of a 70's vibe at the moment - the string picture I posted recently was gone but today I got this embroidered picture - more embroidery.  But look at it!  The subject, the colours, the polyester or nylon wool, the hessian backing, the style all scream 70's and I couldn't leave it behind.  It didn't fit into the top box so was carted home fastened to the bike by two ties. 

I love the way whoever made it has run out of wool for some sections and carried on in a slightly different colour and yes, the dove does look a little strange but who cares? This is handmade and maybe 40 years old
