A piece of someone's history is on sale at eBay this morning. It's four feet wide by thirty inches tall. To me it looks like this was a stamped line drawing that was filled in using crewel wool. The visible lines often add to the effect of dimension. Nice job, in my opinion.

The seller says this took M M two years to stitch. Note that the seller will not ship this--you have to live close enough to their Florida location to pick it up.
Let's take a moment to salute MM. Whoever you are, you did us stitchers proud!
UPDATE: This auction ended without any bids, probably due to the requirement that the item has to be picked up instead of being shipped.

That is gorgeous. I bet it will sell for a pretty penny :-)
Pierrette =^..^=
I think it's sad that it's reserve is only $124.
I hope it sells for a lot more - so much effort and beauty (although the owner didn't make it herself)
I hope it sells for a good deal, Pierrette. E-Rose is right, the reserve price is a crime, but we can admire it and perhaps someone close to the eBay seller (who seems to deal in antiques) will take it home and cherish it. Until then, here's to MM whomever s/he is or was!
