I decided that I would justify my obsession with vintage craft books by making at least one project from each. This one is also my first attempt at real crewel embroidery. I dislike coral stitch... I probably just need practice.

Luchador
Luchador, originally uploaded by luluincognito.
Another older piece, part of my playing catch up project. Not a very good photo... Even though I say this is "done" there is still something... something about this that needs... something. It drives me crazy on a regular basis

A dream; Act I
And (finally), the final piece... Still working on a better title. The rider portion previously posted refered to as "Fairy Tale Circus Rider" - descriptive, but still not cutting it.
Book, found doo dads (buttons! bones! TEETH!), velvet, plastic figures, glitter, moss, tin.

Woody
After two years of on-again-off-again stitching, finally completed - at least the stitching part... still sitting in the Palermo's house waiting the final decision: framed wall piece or pillow?
(Needlepoint; Appleton wool on Penelope canvas.)

WIP: Martini Jack
This one is almost completely done, except about 1/4" of his head and a few lines in the shaker. Seriously, what happened??
WIP: Small_Devil
1 of a long-lost trove of about 42 started projects... I don't even remember how old this is...
