I did two more french knot pictures. The bottom picture was taken from a children's book illustration. I'm sorry I don't remember what the character's name is or the illustrator. If you do know who it is please leave me a comment.
I really like Maira Kalman's illustrations. I took a picture from her book "Max in Hollywood, Baby" and did it in french knots. I really liked the end product.
I did a little cross stitch of the character "Moss" from the BBC comedy "The IT Crowd." I drew up a pattern from a still taken from the DVD of the series. I then stuffed the cross stitch to make a little "Moss" ornament.
