This photo does not do the embroidery justice.  I had to crop the top and bottom red framing to get a screen shot of it.

Note the features of Note Francis.  I would recognize him immediately if he walked in my door.  Faces are so hard to do.  The closer you look, the more detail you will see .  I am impressed++.

    Thank you so much for featuring my goldwork embroidery on your blog Ann! I am going to mount the piece today and bring it to the framer tomorrow. Can’t wait to see his face! He frames all my more substantial pieces and he had never seen anything like this before. He has now a completely different view on embroidery :).

      You are totally welcome Jessica. I am so impressed with your stitching ability and the completed piece of embroidery. We will try to give it more exposure. Peter and I will work on that project.
