A friend of mine sent me a link to a Wall Street Journal article that she thought I would enjoy. I did! In fact, so much so that I thought you would as well. Pictured below is Nikki Delport-Wepener. She is a master embroider. She is originally from South Africa, but now lives in Hong Kong.
Her work is amazing.The article in the Wall Street Journal can found here, http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323646604578404970737891006.html?mod=itp#articleTabs%3Darticle
She was commissioned to do a wall panel for a home outside of Hong Kong. It is well worth your time to click on the slide show button at the top of the article, and take a look at her work.
She is currently working on a repair job of a massive French, Louis XV-era tapestry that will be hung in a Wynn Hotel lobby.
Here is a link to her web page where you can also find her books as well as kits.
Who says you can't make a living doing what you love to do?
I love her embroidered!! Are so beatiful
