{"product_id":"the-sun-needlepoint-canvas","title":"The Sun, the Greater Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sun in flame orange, scarlet, and molten yellow: the surface worked as the turning, curdled granulation it actually is, hot cells of rising gas separated by cooler lanes where the gas sinks back down. This is the brightest canvas in the Astronomy Collection, and the one that asks the most of its color—the whole design lives in the distance between yellow and red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light falling on you now left the sun about eight minutes ago, and those eight minutes are the easy part of the journey. Energy made in the core travels outward by slow scattering, particle to particle, in a path so indirect that by most estimates it takes tens of thousands of years to reach the surface. What arrives in the afternoon is older than agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished as a framed miniature, an ornament, or one of a full Astronomy series, this canvas is especially lovely as the center of a grouping, with the planets arranged around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e— Mesh count: 18\u003cbr\u003e— Skill level: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e— Canvas size: 8 x 8 inches\u003cbr\u003e— Finishing suggestions: Framed miniature, ornament, or a piece in a full Astronomy series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKIT OPTIONS\u003cbr\u003e1.
