I haven't yet started on my Jane Eyre-themed slow stitch project; I've been looking through images online to gather some final inspiration. The computer-generated sketch shows actress Charlotte Gainsbourg in the role; of all the movies and shows I've watched I liked her depiction of Jane Eyre best. She also looks like Jane did in my teenage imagination after reading the book.
I never thought of Jane as being a physically beautiful woman (in the book she's definitely not) but she remains one of the most courageous characters of any story I've read. Being so valiant gave her spiritual beauty for me -- the sort that never fades with age. Now my task is to translate how I feel about her into fabric and embroidery.
