Portraits in Needlepoint

This week NeedlePaint.com posted photographs of custom Portrait Pillows they've done for various clients. I've seen quite a few cross stitch portraits worked from photos that were turned into charts but never silk screened versions. They look great, although I know all that tent stitch with so many color changes isn't easy to stitch.  Nice job, people.
