Tanya Bentham has posted a fascinating face on her blog. Tanya's an expert tutor on Opus Anglicanum, which is the medieval style of embroidery. The face is done in split stitch I think. The fascinating part is she used different colors to emphasize how the various parts of the face are stitched in different ways. I found it absolutely fascinating. I particularly loved how she rendered the eyes.
It will come in handy if I ever stitch a needlepoint face all in split stitch, which is something I'd like to try. I might not use lime, purple, sky blue, peach and pale yellow, though!
