Thanks to one of the spies who feed me tips, I know that Rebecca Wood has added her latest designs to her website. Me, I am partial to the Bear's Night Before Christmas stocking cuff but there is a lot to see and admire. Click on the tiny photos for a better view.

Crewel Like You've Never Seen It Before
Cayce Zavaglia embroiders on a cotton/linen blend with crewel wool. The end results are stunningly realistic portraits. I've never seen crewel like this before! Trish Burr does a fascinating interview on her blog, asking the questions us needleworkers would ask.

More portraits are on Cayce's website.

By the way, if you aren't familiar with Trish Burr's embroideries, click on the Gallery tab on her blog (first link) and see what can be done with cotton floss.
