I love it when my current interests synchronize over the miles with the writers of my favorite blogs, and it happened, again, these last few days.
A recent post on the "Italian Needlework" blog talks about sirens in, well, Italian needlework: http://italian-needlework.blogspot.com/2010/08/la-sirena-siren.html.
Mid July I took photos of the little historic bridge with sirens in the park behind the Sforza castle. In honor of that post and my recent trip to the bridge, I posted one of the photos on my Milan blog, today: http://mymilanitaly.blogspot.com/2010/08/siren-call-in-sempione-park.html.
Such fun! (Though, when hearing about my blogs, my husband burst out, yesterday, with something politely translated from Italian as "How incredibly dull!")
The needlework patterns can be adapted for needlepoint, but keep in mind those tricky diagonals.
