<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9753571, member: 82566"]thank you all for your input. i guess it might be just me, but when i look at this piece i get excited. i don't see 60s or 70s art. i see 100 different, really interesting little abstractions done in needlepoint. any one of these, by themselves, wouldn't really do the same thing for me either, but it's the totality--the entirety of the piece. i see a type of folk art "eyedazzler." i realize it could be from the 70s, the 70s was a retro arts & crafts period, but the amount of work involved, as well as the spots of moth damage, repairs and wear, all point to something older--for me. i contacted the George Washington University Textiles Museum, to see when these yarns might have first existed. i'll report back if i get a response...thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
