I've followed Tanya Bentham's blog for years now. She's an expert in the English Medieval style of embroidery called Opus Angelicanum which she teaches and publishes about.
Why is someone who does needlepoint read about early Medieval needlework? Because it's our heritage and because Tanya's hilarious! I don't know anyone else who combines historical research, hand dyed wools, and Medieval humor to create both satiric and bawdy pieces that are a delight to explore.
Who can resist a saint with a can of cat food, monsters, or a rat eating French fries, anyway?
Besides, Tanya always gives me ideas, like using light to create a shape instead of various shades of color.
