Walking Through The Stars Zodiac Sampler - Aquarius

I finished Aquarius yesterday and am now completely caught up on this SAL. I will admit, I had the song Age of Aquarius in my head while I was stitching this. Heh.

Here is Aquarius - I used quite a bit of silk with this section. I really like that I substituted the Weeks Dye Works flosses with the silk, I think it's turning out quite lovely:

And here is the entire piece (this is a much better picture of the actual fabric color - thanks phone in non-natural light):

Just like with Capricorn, the designers included some interesting information about Aquarius:

Aquarius – January 20 – February 18  Called by the Greeks Hydrochoos, "the Water-Pourer." "Aquarius" is a Latin translation of the Greek name.

Aquarius sees possibilities at the edge of the future. Many are ahead-of-their-time as visionaries, trendsetters, inventors, genius-artists, eccentrics, humanitarians. Aquarius has a mental sovereignty that gives them distance from the noise of life. They move in networks, and are very social, though also fiercely private.

At the extreme edges, Aquarius is unreachable, fixed in their ideas, condescending.

Aquarius thrives at the cutting edge, and keeps up with the latest in art, movies, technology, music and style.
