<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OldWhitby, post: 4616907, member: 17301&quot;]That certainly seems to cover what I have but I don&#039;t see anything older than maybe a couple of decades. I googled yarn art and found a site that referred to spreading beeswax on the backing and pressing the yarn into it. That might explain how mine was made.</p><p>Every craft has its origins and my initial question was where and when. It seems to me that wherever my &#039;painting&#039; came from there were likely many others. Probably there were even schools or individuals who were teaching it just like there were schools in America that taught needlework to young girls. The style suggests early 1800s and a few have suggested southern Europe. The discussion has been enlightening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
