what a great thread, thanks for the link SRS. years ago I used to do embroidery - my mother taught me when I was little. I made it up as I went, and only did a few pieces. Two highlights - one was a rising phoenix against a sunset & gum trees. The other I did as an exchange with an artist friend for one of his pictures. It was an embroidered pillowcase with a psychedelic face bursting into stars etc.

I've seen Sandras' period dressed dolls - very delicate work, and I'm the proud possessor of one of her felt loaded dogs!
