This is the second in my series based on random words from the Oxford English Dictionary
The word “numerous” put me in mind of great herds of sheep. Sheep follow a kind of alpha-sheep known as bellwethers. I based this image on the idea of masses following leaders. That it ended up looking like crewel work (needlework done with yarn, often wool) was a bonus.
