Usually crafters have dabbled in a number of other pursuits in addition the "current passion" which presently consumes their time, interest and crafting budget.
Recently needle works have been showing up in wrapping paper, cards and other projects.
Interesting as they are to look at, we aren't sure we'd be happy putting this much work into gift wrap..........only to see it ripped off a package and "tossed."
But...........they ARE dramatic, good looking.
The same idea applied to cards works well.
The heart is a reminder of "string art" as much as embroidery.
Even much simpler versions work well. Hearts seem to look good no matter what!
